History
Founded in 794 CE (Enryaku 13) when Kūkai enshrined the heavenly deities (Amatsukami) by order of Emperor Kanmu, it is considered the oldest shrine in the Kyoto area. It was renamed 'Gojō Tenjin-gū' during the reign of Emperor Go-Toba. The shrine has been repeatedly rebuilt after being destroyed by fire and was classified as a village shrine (Mura-jinja) during the Meiji era.
