Sakura Tenjinsha

One of the three major Tenjin shrines in Nagoya. It is said to have originated when Oda Nobuhide, the father of Oda Nobunaga, enshrined a wooden statue of Sugawara no Michizane that was transferred from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. He placed it in a shrine at the Nakano Castle. This area was known for its cherry blossoms, and as a result, the shrine came to be called Sakura Tenmangu or Sakura Tenjin.
