Matsumori Tenmangu

Matsumori Tenmangu is enshrined in Matsuyama-cho, Nagasaki City, a Tenmangu dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning. In a sacred space surrounded by a pine forest, people have long visited praying for academic achievement. While Tenmangu is famous for academic success, Michizane's turbulent life also grants the strength to overcome life's difficulties. Not only students and examination candidates in Nagasaki, but many people at life's crossroads visit seeking the wisdom and protection of Michizane. The grounds enveloped in the fragrance of pines cultivate the spirit to apply oneself diligently to studies.
