Matsunomori Tenmangu Shrine

There are Tenmangu Shrines in almost every city in Japan, and this is one in Nagasaki. Together with Suwa Shrine and Isenomiya Shrine, it is called Nagasaki Sanja. The shrine is dedicated to Sugawara Michizane, the god of Japanese learning. Those who wish to improve their studies and succeed in exams can come to worship. In addition, many ancient wooden buildings remain in the shrine, many of which are designated as Japanese cultural properties.
