Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)

History

The shrine is said to have begun when a nobleman who washed ashore in the fifth year of the Seiryaku era (975 CE) left behind a portrait of Sugawara Michizane, prompting villagers to erect a small shrine to enshrine him. It was later merged with the pre-existing Suwa Shrine and served as the guardian deity of Kozu Village during the early modern period. In 1909 CE (Meiji 42), the deities of several other shrines were merged into this shrine.
