Like other Tenjin shrines, this shrine was established to venerate Sugawara no Michizane (845-903), a prominent court scholar and politician who was later deified as Tenjin after his death. The Tenjin cult spread throughout Japan during the Heian period as a means of appeasing his spirit and seeking his protection.
