History
Enshrined in a sacred location on Mount Yoshino, Itoku Tenmangu honors the spirit of Sugawara Michizane. Scholars and artists have journeyed here to seek his blessings, benefiting from his divine protection. When mountain cherries bloom, the atmosphere becomes even more purified, making it a place where pilgrims refine their hearts and spirits through communion with the deity.
