Sugawara-in Tenman-gû

Sugawara-in Tenman-gû, Shinto shrine in Japan

Sugawara-in Tenman-gû stands on the site of the Sugawara-in residence of Sugawara Kiyokimi, Koreyoshi and Michizane, and is held to be Michizane's birthplace. Its grounds hold a main hall (honden), a worship hall (haisho), a Jizō shrine, a joint enshrinement shrine for Ume-maru Ōkami and Wafu Inari, and a stone lantern said to have been Michizane's favourite. The well called Sugawara Kō no Ubusuyu no I, redrawn in 2010, supplies groundwater that visitors may draw from a water point.

The shrine connects to Sugawara Michizane, a scholar and poet from Japan's Heian period who was later deified as Tenjin. The grounds are believed to have been his birthplace and have served as a place of prayer and worship for centuries.

The shrine carries the name of Sugawara Michizane, a revered scholar and poet from Japan's past. Visitors can observe people writing their wishes on small wooden plaques and hanging them throughout the grounds, a living tradition that continues to this day.

The shrine stands on Karasuma-dōri, just south of the Shimodachiuri gate of Kyoto Gyoen; Marutamachi Station on the Karasuma subway line is about a five-minute walk away. The grounds also serve as the caretaker of Itsukushima Shrine inside the imperial park. Visitors can draw drinking water from the spring at the well held to have been used for Michizane's first bath.

The shrine also serves as the caretaker of Itsukushima Shrine inside the Kyoto Imperial Palace grounds, across Karasuma-dori. The well on the grounds, the Sugawara no Michizane birth well, was re-dug in 2010 and its groundwater can be drunk by visitors at a water point.
