About Kitano Tenmangu Shrine

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine is located in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto-city, and also known as Tenjin-san and Kitano-san. Kitano Tenmangu is a shrine dedicated to the famous Michizane Sugawara as the god of learning, and now collects the faith of many students. On the 25th of every month, there is a fair called “Tenjin-San’s Day.” On the day, there are plenty of stalls between around 6am to 9pm, and the temple is lit up from sunset.

This shrine is famous for plum too. You can enjoy the plum enough just to pray normally, but you can enjoy the view that the plum tree is planted more when entering the plum garden paying the entrance fee. In the autumn season, there are also Maple garden, which is planted with about 350 maple trees.(Here is also a fee.)

I was able to visit the shrine to the hotseat of plum blossoms in this shooting, and I was able to stroll in the plum garden. The Plum blossoms do not bloom as showy as the cherry blossoms, but I prefer the elegant blooming of the plum. In the plum garden, there are traces of odoi that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has built for the protection of Kyoto, and there is an observatory where you can look at the main shrine, and it is a place where you can enjoy a stroll in spring.

Speaking of Kitano Tenman-gu, Yuba dishes of Toyouke Chaya opposite that road are famous. People are always waiting for the order, but it is recommended because it is famous.
