About this Shrine

平岡神社 is a Shinto shrine located in the heart of Kyoto, dedicated to the kami of Mount Hieizan and its surrounding area. The shrine's main hall was built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), and its current structure dates back to the Kamakura period (1185-1333 CE). Visitors can explore the shrine's traditional Japanese architecture, including a torii gate and a vermilion lacquered gate. In the spring, the shrine hosts the 'Matsuri' festival in honor of the kami, featuring traditional music, dance, and food stalls.
