Message from worldpitou

Kitano Tenmangū, located in Kyoto, Japan, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, a scholar and poet. Built in 947 to appease his angry spirit after being exiled due to political schemes, the shrine became popular among students praying for success in exams. The grounds are filled with Michizane's favorite red and white plum blossoms, attracting crowds during the Plum Blossom Festival held on February 25. Known for its flea market and open-air tea ceremonies, Kitano Tenmangū offers a unique blend of history, culture, and spirituality in a picturesque setting.
