In the anime, it appears in episodes 1 and 6.
In one episode, the Otenmon Gate of Heian Shrine is shown, and its sheer size will leave the viewer awestruck.
The Otenmon Gate was originally modeled after the south main gate of the Chodoin, the main government office of the Heian-kyo Imperial Palace's Ouchi Interior.
Incidentally, although it is so large, it is a 5/8-scale version of the Otenmon Gate of Heian-kyo, so the original is even larger.
And in episode 6, the torii gate on the approach to Heian Shrine is depicted.
The Otorii, the symbol of Heian Shrine, is 24 meters high and 18 meters wide, and was the largest in Japan when it was built.

Originally, the Senbon-torii gate was built in 711 by Hata Iroko, who enshrined the Great Inari Goddess on Inari Mountain.
Why are there so many torii gates?" Some may wonder, "Why are there so many torii gates?" The dedication of torii gates, the greatest attraction of Fushimi Inari Taisha, spread from the Edo period to the Meiji period (1868-1912), because it was said that wishes would come true (pass through) if offered at a torii gate.
The custom of dedicating a large torii gate when a wish is granted also arose, and this is how the shrine looks today.
The Senbon-Torii, which has become famous over time, is now very popular as an installation spot.
