Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)
History
Legend holds that Sugawara no Michizane, who was demoted to Dazaifu, lived in seclusion and passed away in this area, and the shrine was founded on the site of his residence. The shrine buildings were destroyed during the Sengoku period's pacification of Kyushu, but they were rebuilt in 1647 CE (Shoho 4) by order of Shimazu Mitsuhisa. Major renovations were also carried out during the Meiji era.
