ABOUT Heian Jingu Shrine Hall
Who we are
Next to the vermilion halls of Heian Shrine, Heian Jingu Kaikan overlooks Shin’en garden,
where still ponds reflect cherry blossoms and autumn maples.
Our chefs craft an elegant Kyoto Afternoon Tea and Japanese-French courses—sweets, savories, and multi-course menus that
unite French technique with Kyoto’s seasonal flavors, all savored against this historic backdrop.
CUISINE
What You Can Enjoy
Afternoon Tea
Experience Kyoto’s seasons with over ten artisanal sweets and savories, paired with unlimited
Mighty Leaf teas and coffee. Spend two relaxing hours amid garden views of cherry blossoms, autumn maples, and more.
Shin’en Stroll-Garden Views
Dine while overlooking Shin’en, Heian Shrine’s nationally designated stroll garden, where koi ponds, cherry trees, irises, and fiery maples create a living tableau that changes with every season.
Seasonal events
Sakura-viewing evenings, the Gion Festival, and the autumn Daimonji fire inspire one-night-only tasting menus. Enjoy seasonal courses amid special illuminations of the shrine halls and Shin’en garden.
