Kisshoin-Tenmangu Shrine

The shrine is considered the first Tenmangu and the birthplace of Sugawara no Michizane, offering deep historical value.

It provides a quiet, authentic experience away from major tourist crowds, fostering a connection with local devotion.

The shrine features unusual statues like horses, pegasus, and golden oxen, adding to its distinct character.

Despite some disappointment, the Hello Kitty collaboration, including omamori and goshuin, is a draw for fans.

Visitors noted the staff were very helpful and kind, particularly regarding goshuin requests.
