Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto and Egara Tenjinsha Shrine in Kamakura are considered by some to be Japan’s three great Tenjin shrines. Yoritomo designated this shrine as a tutelary shrine for the protection of his office and residence in the northeast of the city (believed to be an unlucky direction).
