History
In 1672 CE (Kanbun 12), Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the second daimyo of the Owari Tokugawa clan, enshrined the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane at this site, inviting it from Dazaifu Tenmangu. He established the shrine buildings to serve as a center for academic prayers for the Owari Domain and as a guardian deity for the Kimon of Nagoya Castle.

Blessings
The shrine is known for prayers regarding academics. Additionally, due to the co-enshrined deity of Kanayama Shrine, it is believed to bring good fortune in wealth and business prosperity. It is also famous for the practice of washing coins (senezukai) to attract money.
What visitors say
The shrine grounds are flat and feature many halls, creating a lively atmosphere. The coin-washing ritual and Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) services are very popular. Due to heavy crowds on lucky days and during the New Year period, it is convenient to visit early in the morning or use the paid parking lots nearby.
