Tsume-shogi moves are depicted on the station plaza and sidewalks, and bridges and manholes are also decorated with shogi pieces.

Heian Jingu Shrine

Established in 1895 to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the transfer of the capital to Heian-kyo, this shrine is relatively new. The buildings emulate the central government office, the "Chodo-in," where significant ceremonies took place during the Heian period. Once you step into the precincts, adorned with these vermilion structures, you feel as though you've time-traveled back to the Heian era.
