Osaka, Osaka / 大阪天満宮

Osaka Tenmangu Shrine

Around 650, when Emperor Kotoku built his palace at Naniwa, a shrine to Daishogun was set up here to guard the northwest of the capital. Sugawara no Michizane prayed here for a safe journey in 901 on his way to Dazaifu; in 949, after seven pine trees are said to have sprung up overnight and glowed at night, Emperor Murakami ordered a shrine built to enshrine Michizane's spirit. For over a thousand years it has been revered by the people of Osaka and beyond, and it is the home of the Tenjin Festival.
