History
The founding is estimated to be around 1469â1486 CE. After the Sakai clan entered the region, the shrine received their protection, and prayers were offered for the safety of boats transporting rice and for rain. During the era of the Agatsuma clan, it was located next to the West Gate within Tsuruoka Castle.

The shrine grounds are meticulously maintained and exude a quiet atmosphere. From late March to early April, the plum blossoms in the grounds are beautiful, and the Tsuruoka Tenjin Festival (Kemono Matsuri) is traditionally held in May. Distinctive features, such as large Komainu (lion-dog statues) and a Temizuya (hand-washing basin) crafted from natural stone, are also highlights.
