Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)
History
Founded in 1478 CE (Bunmei 10) by Oda Urugusu, the lord of Hirakawa Castle in Edo, following a spiritual dream of Sugawara no Michizane. The shrine underwent several relocations, including a transfer after Tokugawa Ieyasu's entry into Edo and another move to its current location during the expansion of Edo Castle under Tokugawa Hidetada. It later became a place of prayer for the Tokugawa houses of Kishu and Owari, as well as the Himeji Domain. Although the main hall was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake and wartime fires, it was rebuilt in 1969.

What visitors say
This shrine offers a calm and serene atmosphere, quietly situated within an office district. While the grounds are not extensive, they feature several points of interest, including a bronze torii gate, komainu (lion-dog statues), and stone oxen, some of which are designated cultural properties. Visitors can receive a rice cracker when collecting their Goshuin (shrine seal stamp). Being set back from the main thoroughfares, the shrine provides a peaceful environment for worship.
