Jonan-gu shrine is located in the south part of Kyoto and was founded
in 794 as the guardian shrine of the Heian Capital. Toward the end of the
Heian period around this area the Jonan Imperial Villa was built by the
Ex-emperor Shirakawa and many magnificent buildings of noblemen and temples
were constructed. This shrine was also deeply revered as the guardian deity
of this villa and its festival was held in big scale and very famous.
The main shrine building and the Kaguraden(the hall of kagura dance) are
designed accodinq to the architectural style of the end of the Heian period.
These elegant constructions remind you of the prosperous age of the Jonan
Imperial Villa.
The sacred garden named Rakusuien is designed in holy woods where the
spirit of Shinto deities resides and worshippers can rest in a calm atmosphere
and refresh themselves here. More than one hundred kinds of plants depicted
