Introduction to Hirano shrine
Hirano Shrine was built within the Heijo Palace in 782, and was moved to this location in 794 when the capital was relocated to Kyoto.
The main shrine has a unique structure, connecting two shrine buildings, and is designated as an Important Cultural Property.
Approximately 400 cherry trees of about 60 varieties are planted here, and a cherry blossom festival is held in the spring.
