In the year 1003 the shrine was established in the former residence of Sugawara no Koreyoshi, the father of Sugawara no Michizane (a scholar and a politician of the Heian period known as "the God of learning"). The shrine was moved to its current location in 1587 during the Azuchi-Momoyama period during the reconstruction of Kyoto by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.[1][2][3]
