History

The shrine's origins are said to trace back to when Michizane's fifth son, Sugawara Shushu (Jinmochi), traveled to the Kanto region, established a residence in Nagatama village, and enshrined a statue of Michizane. In 1493 CE (Meiyo 2), Uesugi Norikuni of the Takuma Uesugi clan, fearing a spiritual dream in which the statue of Michizane appeared to him, built a shrine and enshrined the statue as the sacred object, marking the beginning of Nagatama Tenmangu. It was later rebuilt in 1582 CE (Tensho 10) by Uesugi Mitsutomi.

What visitors say

This shrine is located in a quiet environment close to the train station. The grounds feature a statue of an ox and ema (votive plaques) dedicated to prayers for passing exams. Visitors must climb a set of stairs to reach the worship hall, and the grounds lack shade, so there is no protection from the sun. Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) are also available.
