Sugawara Shrine
菅原神社During the Muromachi period, Osawa Sakon Masatsugu enshrined the statue of Tenjin that his ancestor Shichiro Osawa Masazumi had obtained when he visited the Kitano Tenjin in Kyoto during the Genō period (Kamakura period), on the mountain of Ide-no-sawa. In 1630, his descendant Osawa Gensho had a new statue of the god of the Wataru Dynasty engraved here in the seventh year of Kanei (1630) at the beginning of the Edo period, and donated this land to be the shrine of Honmachida, which is the auspiciousness of our company.
In the seventh year of Kyoho (1722), the main hall was rebuilt, and in the fifth year of Tenmei (1785), the shrine hall was built. In the 35th year of the Meiji Era (1902), the five shrines of Senganten Shrine, Dairokutensha, Shichimensha, Inarisha, and Hakusan Shrine were enshrined, and after that, the shrine hall was restored and the precincts were improved with the combined efforts of the clan and children, and in Heisei 12, the new Kagura Hall was completed.
The main deity is Sugawara Michishinko (scholar, politician, and poet of the early Heian period). Together with Machida Tenmangu Shrine and Minami-Otani Tenjinja Shrine, which also enshrine Lord Suga, it is adored and revered by many people as one of the three Machida heavenly gods.
