History
Founded in 904 CE (Engi 2), it claims to be the first Tenjin shrine established in Japan. It was renamed Matsuzaki Shrine in 1873 and reverted to its current name, Hofu Tenmangu, in 1953 after the war. It is considered one of the places where Michizane stayed while being exiled to Kyushu and is counted among Japan's three major Tenjin shrines.
