History
The origins of the shrine are unknown, but it is believed to have been named after the Sugao clan, who were descendants of the Nakatomi clan and resided in the area. They enshrined their ancestral deity, Amaterasu no Okami. During the medieval period, as the worship of Tenjin spread, Sugawara no Michizane was added as an enshrined deity. In the Edo period, Tenjin became the primary enshrined deity. In 1872 (Meiji 5), it was designated as a Gōsha (a shrine of local importance).
