History
In 934 CE (Shōhei 4), the Kichijoin Seibyo (Kichijoin Sacred Temple) and shrine buildings were constructed by imperial decree of Emperor Suzaku to enshrine the spirit of Michizane. It is regarded as the first Tenmangu in Japan, with an older founding date than Kitano Tenmangu. The site is also considered the birthplace of Sugawara no Michizane, and the Kichijoin temple, which served as the family temple, was originally located here.
