高槻市天神町１丁目１５−５
Located in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, this is a historic Tenmangu shrine considered the second oldest in Japan. The grounds feature a main hall (honden) made of bamboo and ancient burial mounds (kofun) that convey its long history.

History
According to tradition, the shrine was founded in the 4th year of the Seiryaku era (963 CE) when Sugawara Mitori enshrined a spirit substitute (gorei-dai) and a self-portrait of Sugawara no Michizane at this site. It is called the second-oldest Tenmangu shrine in Japan, following Dazaifu Tenmangu. Because it predates Kitano Tenmangu in Kyoto, it bears the name 'Kamimiya' (Upper Shrine). The shrine has deep historical ties to important figures, including Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who oversaw the reconstruction of the shrine buildings, and Nagai Naomoto, who rebuilt the worship hall (haiden). In 2002, the first bamboo main hall in Japan was reconstructed here.

Situated on a small hill in Takatsuki City, the shrine offers a panoramic view of the cityscape as you ascend the stone steps of the approach path. The grounds are meticulously maintained, providing a serene atmosphere for prayers to the deity of learning and visits to the Cat Shrine. The office sells traditional Japanese confections (wagashi), and the grounds become lively during the Tenjin Festival in February.
