Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)

History

In 923 CE, by imperial decree of Emperor Daigo, the shrine was established to enshrine the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane as a guardian against water and fire disasters, following a command from So-i Sojo of Enryaku-ji Temple. It was originally located in Uenomiya-cho in Kamigyo Ward, but was relocated to its current site in 1952 due to the expansion of Horikawa-dori Street.
