Sugawara-in Tenman-gu (birthplace of Sugawara no Michizane)

菅原院天満宮神社(菅原道真生誕地)

Central (Rakuchū)|丸太町

A small Tenman-gu said to be where Sugawara no Michizane was born and given his first bath. Several shrines in Kyoto claim the same, so his exact birthplace is uncertain; this one stands on the site of the Sugawara family residence, where the well of his first bath remains.
