Heian-jingu

平安神宮

4.4Est. 45Kyoto, Kansai

Most visitors see the grand shrine halls and leave. The 600-yen garden behind them holds the actual draw: weeping cherry trees that bloom in early April, a few days after the city's main sakura. The path crosses the pond on stone pillars salvaged from a 16th-century bridge.

Local tips

The garden behind the shrine (600 yen) has stunning weeping cherry trees in April. Most people skip it.
