Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)
History
It is said that the shrine was founded in 713 CE (Wado 6) when Onso Tenjin was enshrined to pray for the cure of an epidemic. Later, it became the guardian deity of the miso storehouse at the Higo Kokubunji temple and gained fame as the protector of miso. Although it was destroyed by fire during the war in 1945, it was rebuilt with assistance from miso merchants across Japan.

Located along the Dendori street, this is a compact yet well-maintained shrine with a quiet atmosphere. The grounds feature charming shrine buildings and komainu (lion-dog statues), and there is a park adjacent to the area. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at a building opposite the shrine. Since there is no parking lot, it is convenient to check the surrounding conditions before visiting.
