Machida Tenmangu
町田天満宮This shrine is dedicated to Sugawara Michishinko, the founder of education, and is dedicated to Hieda Shrine and Iizuna Shrine together, and is one of the three Machida Heavenly Gods, and has been revered for a long time along with the Honmachida Sugawara Shrine and the Minami-Otani Ten Shrine. The chief priest, Sugawara Michishinko, was born in Kyoto in the twelfth year of Jowa, and studied from an early age as a Confucian family known as the Suga family corridor, and gained the confidence of Emperor Uta and Emperor Daigo, and was appointed as the right minister. However, due to the praise of the left minister Fujiwara Tokihei, he was transferred to Dazai Gonsho in the fourth year of Changtai and sent down to Dazaifu in Kyushu, where he did not hold a grudge against the heavens and did not condemn people, but earnestly prayed for the safety of the Imperial Family, and died on February 25, the third year of the Imperial Calendar, at the age of 59.
In this way, Sugawara Michishinko, who was an unfortunate literati politician, showed the path of sincerity throughout his life, and was recognized by later people as well as his talent as a literary figure, and the belief in Tenjin has spread throughout the country and is revered.
The combined shrine god Oyama Kojin is headquartered at the Hiyoshi Shrine in Sakamoto, Otsu City, and there is the Akasaka Hie Shrine nearby, which is commonly called the Mountain King.
The god Usano is called Iizuna-sama as the god of the five grains, and is headquartered in Mt. Iinawa, Nagano Prefecture.
