History

This sacred shrine honors Sugawara Michizane, the deity of scholarship, revered as the patron of learning throughout Kyoto. Thousands of students visit to pray for wisdom's light with pure hearts. The wind sweeping before the Tenmangu carries the spirit of the great scholar of old, guiding today's students and illuminating the path of knowledge.
