Mizuta Tenmangū

Mizuta Tenmangū is a shrine situated in Mizuta, Chikugo City, enshrining Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning. This area has long been a fertile granary with extensive rice paddies, and has a history where both agriculture and learning have been valued. True to its nature as a Tenmangū, the plum blossoms bloom beautifully, and particularly during examination season, many students and parents visit to pray for success. The quiet environment surrounded by the rural landscape of the Chikugo Plain seems to heighten concentration and enhance learning effectiveness, imbuing one with a refreshingly clear spirit. A veritable sanctuary of learning, it continues to watch over education in the region.
