Kameido Tenjin Shrine
Kameido Tenjin Shrine is a Japanese Tenman-gu shrine located in Kameido, Koto Ward, Tokyo. The shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, a 9th-century Japanese scholar. Description The Kameido shine was built in honor of Sugawara no Michizane, a prominent Japanese politician and scholar.
