Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)
History
The shrine began in the Bunmei era when Oda Urugami invited the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane from a shrine in Kitano, Kyoto, during the construction of Edo Castle. Later, during the era of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the deity was transferred to the old cherry blossom horse training ground in Yushima, and in 1691, it was transferred again to its current location in Hongo. It has been enshrined as the tutelary deity of Hongo to this day.

Located in the city center, this is a quiet and calm shrine surrounded by buildings. The grounds are compact, but the shrine buildings are antique and impressive. Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) are self-service, and visitors are greeted by black-boned chickens, creating a small yet charming worship environment.
