We have not confirmed opening hours, prices or access details yet. The official website is the best place to check.
How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against heianjingu.or.jp. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The Heian Jingu official ritual page states the festival is held every year on October 22 (postponed for rain), and the shrine's home page carries an October 10, 2026 notice about an October 22 change, so the 2026 edition is recorded as an expected fixed-rule date; admission price, procession timing and schedule details were not verified from official sources.
