History

The shrine's origin is believed to be a suburban altar established in 787 CE (Enryaku 6) by Emperor Kanmu to enshrine his father, Emperor Kōnin. Originally, the Kifune Shrine served as the ancestral deity of the area. However, when a shrine dedicated to Emperor Kōnin was built and became the main hall, the Kifune Shrine was reclassified as a subsidiary shrine. In 1888, it was renamed to its current name, Matano Tenjin Shrine.

Situated within a residential area, passing through the torii gate envelops visitors in a calm atmosphere. Although the shrine buildings are small, the grounds have a historical charm, with a subsidiary shrine of Kifune Shrine located in the rear. Omikuji (fortune slips) and Omamori (protective amulets) are available, and a parking lot is maintained near the entrance.
