Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)

History

The shrine is said to have originated in 901 CE (Engi 1) when Sugawara no Michizane rested at the foot of Mount Onaga, and local villagers built a small shrine for him. Later, it is said that Taira no Kiyomori established the main hall after being saved from a violent storm accompanied by lightning. In the early Edo period, the Asano clan invited Matsuo Tadamasa to relocate the shrine to its current location, where it was named 'Onaga Tenjin-gu'. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, it became the current 'Onaga Tenmangu'.

What visitors say

This shrine enshrines the god of learning, and many visitors come to pray for success in exams. To reach the main hall, you must climb a steep staircase, along which there are places to stroke the petting ox and strike the dragon god stone. Although there is a parking lot, the roads are narrow, so the use of nearby coin parking is recommended for large vehicles.
