Shirata Tenjin Jinja

This shrine, as a Tenjin deity enshrining Sugawara no Michizane, has been worshipped since ancient times as the god of learning. When I was a child, I have memories of reading books while listening to the sound of the trees in the shrine's precincts rustling in the wind. Although its founding is unknown, many students and their guardians visit to pray for academic success. It is particularly said to have benefits for passing exams, attracting many worshipers. It is a shrine where you can feel the blessings of the god of learning in its quiet precincts.
