About Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine
Nagaoka Tenmangu is a shrine in Nagaokakyo city, Kyoto Prefecture, and is known as “Tenjin-san” and “Nagaten-san” among its citizens. The shrine is famous for its azalea flowers. The best of Kirishima Azalea which is planted a lot is the end of April, and the vivid red reminds me of the foliage.
In the neighborhood of this shrine, I saw a few shops selling the fresh bamboo shoots that day. It will be a good souvenir for those who visit from April to mid-May, which is the season of Nagaokakyo bamboo shoots.
Access to Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine is a 10-minute walk west of Nagaoka Tenjin station on the Hankyu Kyoto line. If you are accustomed to Kyoto, please be careful because you will hit sense of direction.
