History
The shrine earned the name 'Rakuba Tomite Tenjin' because it is said to have stopped the runaway horse of Tokugawa Yoshimune, the 8th shogun of the Edo period. In addition to the traditional worship of Tenmangu for academic success, it receives visitors praying to stop disasters and pain, and to ensure they do not 'fall.' The shrine buildings were destroyed in the 1945 air raids but were rebuilt in 1983.
