Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)
History
Located in the area believed to be the birthplace of Sugawara no Michizane, a shrine was built in 934 CE (Jopei 4) to enshrine his spirit by imperial decree of Emperor Suzaku. It is regarded as the first Tenmangu shrine in Japan, older than Kitano Tenmangu. Despite the Haibutsu Kishaku (destruction of Buddhism) movement in the Meiji era, remnants of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, such as the statue of Kichojoten and Buddhist-style buildings, have been preserved.
