About this Shrine

Tenman-ji Shrine, located in the Ibaraki Prefecture, is a Shinto temple dedicated to the god of prosperity and good fortune, Tenman. The shrine is one of Japan's oldest shrines, with a history dating back to the Nara period (710-794 CE). Its architecture reflects the Heian period style, with a main hall, torii gate, and several smaller shrines. Visitors can admire the beautiful gardens, including a famous teahouse and a tranquil pond with koi fish.

Cultural Significance

As a significant Shinto shrine, Tenman-ji is closely associated with the mythology of the Japanese imperial family. According to legend, the god Tenman was instrumental in securing the founding of the Yamato State, Japan's first imperial dynasty. The shrine also hosts an annual spring festival (, Haru Matsuri) to celebrate the arrival of spring and welcome the new season.
