Kyoto was abandoned due to the turmoil at the end of the shogunate. In order to achieve the goal of revitalizing Kyoto, the Heian Shrine was built in 1895 under the strong expectations of the citizens of Kyoto. The shrine enshrines the 50th Emperor Tenmu who built Heian-kyo in Kyoto. Then in 1940, in the 2600th year of the Imperial Era, the 121st Emperor Komei, who passed away in Heiankyo, was enshrined. The shrine of Heian Jingu Shrine is built in the 5/8 scale of the inner main hall of Heian Kyoto University.
