| Heian Shrine is a famous structure dedicated to
Emperor Kammu, the founder of Kyoto, and the Emperor
Komei, the last emperor in Kyoto. It was built to
commemorate the 1,100th anniversary of the founding
of Kyoto in 1895. Its building , with the exception
of the ferroconcrete torii gate, are miniature replicas
of the first Imperial Palace built in Kyoto, in
794. The garden behind the shrine is well known
for its water lilies, roses, azaleas, maples and
weeping chery trees. |

| Sanjusangendo Temple is a national tresure with
1,030 standing Buddhist statues in its main hall.
The principal image, a seated Thousand-handed Kannon,
was carved by Tankei. All the Kannon and its 28
followers are designated National Tresures. The
1,001 smaller images are Importnat Cultural Propeties.
The temple takes its name from the 33 spaces between
pillars in front of the main altar. In Buddhism,
the number "33" is of symbolic importance,
because the bodhisattava Kannon incarnates in 33
different shapes in its missions or mercy. |

 |
| Kiyomizu Temple is noted for its Main Hall on
the cliff top with a broad wooden veranda and a
panoramic view of Kyoto city. The veranda is supported
on a scaffold of wood towering on a wooded hillside,
so the veranda seems to hang in mid-air. The vally
is so deep that there has been the expression "jumping
from the veranda of Kiyomizu temple", which
means doing something daring. The present temple
building was built in 1633, and its main hall has
been desiganated as a National Tresure. |
