Facilities
If you're praying for exam success, this is a fitting shrine to visit since it is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning.
Avoid visiting on July 24-25 if you want a quiet visit; the Tenjin Festival is held then and draws large crowds.

The shrine was being worked on due to the July 24-25 festival so I couldn’t see any of its splendor. BUT I got my Goshuin and multiple Omamori for myself and my family. Would come back to see the shrine in its glory.

Plan your visit around the calendar if crowds matter. The shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning, so students come here for exam success. The Tenjin Festival is on July 24 and 25, and it draws very large crowds, so choose another day if you want a quieter atmosphere.
