Osaka Tenmangu.
Visit the shrine grounds during opening hours. An evening route can explore the surrounding public streets, but should not depend on the gates remaining open.
The story behind this place
Founded in 949, this shrine honours Sugawara no Michizane, a scholar and statesman who died in exile. He later became Tenjin, a deity associated with learning. That connection explains why students come here to pray for success in their studies.
