It's a good shrine, but it's a pity that the manners of worshipers are not good. Plum is crying

Original Text

I've seen a shrine for the first time in a while with worshipers who tie fortunes to plum branches and worshipers who have such bad manners recently. I feel like plums are crying. Or is it a normal custom in Iga? It is also called Sugawara Shrine or Ueno Tenjingu, and the tower gate looks very old and I would like to evaluate it as a beautiful shrine overall, but ... I'm sorry.

It is a shrine that enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, just off Ueno Station. If you proceed from the shopping street, you will see a magnificent tower gate. The hall of worship is very new because it has been rebuilt by fire. Although it is a shrine, there is also a magnificent bell tower. It is a shrine related to Basho Matsuo. Many people visited the Japanese sweets shop behind the shrine.

A powerful shrine

Original Text

It is a magnificent and powerful shrine along the highway near Ueno Station, which makes you feel like you have slipped back in time. Nearby, there is a cafe at Kihei Shiina's parents' house, Chitta published in the Michelin Guide, and Kanaya, a long-established store, so you can enjoy taking a stroll.

5 minutes walk from Ueno City Station. It is called Ueno Tenjingu. The year of its founding is unknown. The main deity is Sugawara no Michizane. The bell tower was built around 1690 and the tower gate was built in 1701, but the Haiden was destroyed by fire in 2010 and was rebuilt in 2012. Three "stroking cows" were enshrined in the precincts (maybe there are others), so if you are sick or injured, you should stroke the same place of the cow with a wish for healing.
