松山神社, Shinto shrine in Higashiyodogawa, Osaka, Japan

Matsuyama Shrine (松山神社) is a Shinto shrine in the Higashiyodogawa district of Osaka, Japan. The compound is marked by a red torii gate, framed by mature trees, and includes a wooden main hall along with several plum trees planted throughout the grounds.

According to shrine tradition, Sugawara no Michizane stopped here in 901 while traveling down the Yodo River into exile at Dazaifu. He is said to have recited a poem about the small pines and gave the villagers a portrait in his own hand; a shrine was later built and the village named Komatsu. In 1871 it was renamed Matsuyama Shrine, merged into Osumi Shrine in 1909, and restored here in 1944 with the former hall of Shijonawate Shrine.

The shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, a historical figure associated with learning and scholarship in Japan. Before exam seasons, students and parents visit to leave wooden wishing plaques, which hang visibly on a wooden board near the main hall.

The shrine sits in a residential area and is easy to reach on foot, with the entrance clearly marked by the torii gate. Visiting in the early morning tends to work well, as the grounds are at their most open and unhurried at that time.

The shrine was merged into Osumi Shrine in 1909 and abolished, then returned to this site in 1944 after a local campaign; its former main hall was moved here from Shijonawate Shrine. Hankyu Railway promotes it with Hattori Tenjingu and Nagaoka Tenmangu as one of three Tenjin shrines for exam prayers.
