Ōsaka Tenmangū, Shinto shrine in Tenjinbashi, Osaka, Japan.
The Osaka Tenmangu shrine features stone structures and traditional Japanese architectural elements, with gardens surrounding the main prayer hall and entrance gates.
Emperor Murakami established the shrine in 949 AD, dedicating it to Sugawara no Michizane, a Heian period scholar who became the deity of education.
Students regularly visit the shrine to write their academic wishes on wooden plaques called ema, seeking success in their examinations and studies.
The shrine maintains daily operations from 9:00 to 17:00 throughout the year, with direct access from multiple stations along the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street.
The Tenjin Matsuri festival, held on July 24 and 25, includes a river procession where the shrine deity travels by boat accompanied by fireworks.
