Suban-tennmangu Shrine in Kyoto, dedicated to the god of learning and literature, is one of Japan's most famous Shinto shrines. The shrine was originally built in 1849 as a memorial to Nakano Takeko, a samurai who died at the Battle of Seikan in 1869, but it has since become closely associated with Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning and education. Visitors can admire the shrine's traditional architecture, which reflects its Edo-period origins, as well as explore the nearby Kyoto University campus.
