Heian Jingu Shrine was built on the 1100th anniversary of the capital's foundation in Kyoto and is dedicated to the spirits of the first and last emperors who reigned from the city, Emperor Kammu (737-806) and Emperor Komei (1831-1867). Heian is the former name of Kyoto. This famously beautiful shrine is mostly barrier-free and easily accessible to wheelchair users. We recommend Heian Jingu Shrine for a sunny day. Please see below for information in English on the shrine.
