#japan #sakura #kyoto
The Hirano Shrine in Kyoto is a shrine located in Hirano Miyamotomachi, Kita-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The emblem of the shrine is the cherry blossom. The main hall of the Hirano Shrine is a designated Important Cultural Property of Japan. The Hirano Shrine is also a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing, particularly renowned for its "night cherry blossoms."
Founded in 794 by Emperor Kammu during the capital's relocation from Nagaoka-kyō to Heian-kyō, it has held a special place in the hearts of the Imperial family since then.
Since 985, the shrine has been hosting the prestigious cherry blossom festival, marking a tradition spanning centuries.
However, the shrine faced a significant setback on August 26, 2018, when Typhoon Jebi struck, causing severe damage. The main hall and several trees around the shrine bore the brunt of the storm, making the road to recovery for the shrine challenging.
