Introduction to Hirano-jinja shrine
Hirano-jinja 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.
