鏡天満宮

鏡天満宮, Shinto shrine in Japan

Kagami Tenmangu is a Shinto shrine in the Kawabata area of Hakata-ku, Fukuoka. Its name comes from a mirror that, according to tradition, Sugawara no Michizane used to view his reflection when he arrived in Hakata; that mirror is kept as the shrine's sacred body. The shrine stands near the Hakata Riverain complex.

The shrine's origin is tied to Sugawara no Michizane's arrival in Hakata, where tradition says he looked at his reflection in a mirror; that mirror became the shrine's sacred body. The site lies in Kawabata, near the old harbor district of Hakata.

The shrine's name comes from the mirror Sugawara no Michizane is said to have used to view his reflection when he arrived in Hakata; that mirror is kept as the shrine's sacred body. The site stands in Kawabata, beside the Hakata Riverain complex, and is visited by students praying for success in exams.

The shrine stands in Kawabata, Hakata-ku, a short walk from Nakasu-Kawabata Station and beside the Hakata Riverain complex. Purify your hands and mouth at the temizuya before approaching the hall. The grounds are compact, so a visit fits easily into a walk along the Nakasu riverfront.

The shrine issues limited commemorative stamps on only two special days each year: January 7 and August 25, and only when a priest is on duty. Collectors prize these rare stamps as meaningful reminders of their visit.
