Heijo Palace Ruins
The Heijo Palace Site is the center of Heijo-kyo, which was relocated from Fujiwara-kyo in 710, and it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as "Cultural Properties of Ancient Nara" in 1998. It is now developed as the "Heijo Palace Site Historical Park," which features several facilities such as the "Suzaku Gate Plaza," opened in 2018, including the "Heijo Palace Visitor Center" and "Tenpyo Viewing Hall." Here, visitors can view reconstructed architectural structures from the Nara period, such as the "Suzaku Gate" and the "First Daigokuden," and many artifacts and restored models are displayed at the "Heijo Palace Site Museum" and the "Ruins Exhibition Hall." Within the vast park, you can deepen your understanding of Nara period history by using rental bicycles and VR theater.
