Tripadvisorβs approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The deity worshipped here is Sugawara no Michizane. This shrine is affectionately known as "Tenjin-san of Tenma" and is well-known for the Tenjin Festival, one of Japan's three major festivals. It is also a shrine that evokes a sense of history and holiness.

Nice and quiet, but not much to see. There is the main shrine, which is very beautiful and you will see the locals go to bow and pray, a couple of small secondary shrines and that's it. It is worth visiting to get to know it, it is really very beautiful.

We visited Osaka Castle, and then walked to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street. Itβs not near but we like to walk. On our way to the shopping street we stopped by the temple.
Itβs not a big temple, but it was the first temple we visited in Japan and it is nice to know the culture.
This is in the middle of the city, on a side street of the shopping street and very easy to stop by. If you are in the area you can visit but I wouldnβt get out of my way to visit this temple.

This shrine is enshrining the god of study, but the head shrine is in Fukuoka prefecture and this is the shrine for that part. The main pavilion was simple, wooden rustic and solid. The decoration of the zodiac sign sculptured at delicate work decorated on the ceiling of the gate was beautiful.

I liked this shrine (and I have seen a lot). Situated behind the shopping street there is a little area of tranquality. With the main shrine in the middle it is surrounded by other little places of worship, gravestones and carvings. In the wood work of the buildings are quite a few carvings, in the ceilings, under the bridge and look up under the main entrance. There are a few life size statues of animals as well as the usual combination of Japanese mithical animals. The main gate was particularly good, still with its solid wood door and metal embelishments. Leave the Minami-Morimachi subway station on exit 4A and take the second left and it will take you 5 minutes at most.

I was staying in a hotel not far from Osaka Tenmangu Shrine and had a couple hours in the afternoon to explore the area and neighborhood so I visited the shrine. Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, founded in the 10th century, is one of the most important of hundreds of shrines across Japan that are devoted to the Shinto deity of scholarship, Sugawara Michizane. Osaka Tenmangu Shrine has been destroyed by fire a number of times during its history, and its current main hall (honden) and main gate date back to 1845. The shrine is nestled in a residential area and has fewer visitors than the more popular known temples & shrines. It was nice to spend the time wandering around the complex which houses a few other smaller structures. If you are in the neighborhood and have not yet done the "temple tour" or tired out from visiting all the temples, make a short visit to Osaka Tenmangu Shrine and the surrounding neighborhood.

A quiet place despite in the busy city of Osaka. A good place for photo taking as there is a lot of sculptures

Every July, the Tenjin Matsuri is held here. This is Osaka's most fabulous festival, where you can view gorgeous fireworks.

We went to the shrine as we are walking along tenjinbashisuji shopping arcade, the shrine is pretty ordinary, nothing much to see and will only take 5 minutes. Perhaps the place would be more interesting if there is an event. No harm dropping by if you are in the area, but not worth to make a trip only to pay a visit.

Although this is one of the important Shinto shrines in Osaka, it is really nothing extraordinary to check out unless you want to pay respect to the dedicated deity. Tenmangu Shrine is a cool side destination if you are exploring the Tenjimbashisuji Market, but it's not worth going out of your way to see.
