History
Ryukouin, enshrined in Tenjin-cho of Uwajima, honors Tenjin. An ancient hall dedicated to the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane, it has been a place of prayer for those seeking academic excellence. Where the powers of dragon and Tenjin converge, people have long prayed for the flowering of wisdom and advancement in the arts. Enduring in the heart of Uwajima, this hall continues to shine. In an old fox's long gaze, it remains a beacon of learning and enlightenment.
