平安神宮
明治28年、平安遷都1000年を記念して創建、桓武、孝明両帝を祀る。大極殿は平安京当時に擬して作られた朱塗の豪壮華麗な拝殿である。

大鳥居は本当に大きくて見応えが充分。
Wikipediaによると高さ24.4mだとか。

こじんまりとしたお寺や神社も素敵だけど、大きいものはやっぱり凄い!

Heian Shrine,Kyoto.

This is 15 page of an old miniature book of Kyoto.

A summary page is here.

The Heian Shrine (平安神宮 Heian-jingū) is a Shinto shrine located in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The Shrine is ranked as a Beppyou Jinja (別表神社) (the top rank for shrines) by the Association of Shinto Shrines. It is listed as an important cultural property of Japan.

The architecture design was a reproduction of the Chōdōin (Emperor’s palace in the former eras) in 5/8th scale (in length). The large red entrance gate is a reproduction of the Outenmon of the Chōdōin. The architecture of the main palace mirrors the style and features of the Kyoto Imperial Palace,[2] the style from the 11th-12th century (late Heian Period). The Shrine’s torii is one of the largest in Japan.

I have visited here.
Huge torii gate is wonderful.
And a site is very vast.
