- 1895

The Heian Shrine was completed in 1895 in Kyoto to commemorate the 1,100th anniversary of Heian-kyō's founding, initially serving as an exhibition monument.
Planned for the 1,100th anniversary of Heian-kyō, the shrine was constructed in Okazaki at 5/8 scale because land for the original palace site could not be purchased. It served as the main monument for an industrial exposition fair before being preserved as a shrine for Emperor Kanmu.
