Let's visit Hatsutenjin
In January, various Shinto ritual and folk events called "Hatsu-do" are held, and "Hatsutenjin" is a traditional tradition. The 25th is the fair of patron saint of academics, so the first Tenjin is January 25th. As the subject of rakugo, it seems that it has been popular among people for a long time. Also, these days coincided with the exam season, many families visit patron saint of academics, the god of learning.
In the Edo period, there was a saying, "Iseya, dog droppings in Inari". It is a list of many things in the town of Edo, but it expresses the fact that Inari Shrine is everywhere, just like many shops with the name of Iseya and many dogs wandering around the town. In fact, I still often see small Inari shrines in the town. There are a lot in Chuo-ku.
However, when it comes to Tenjin Shrine, there are few in Chuo-ku. I've visited the rare patron saint of academics in Hamacho. It is called "Tsunashiki Tenjin Shrine" and is enshrined with "Gentoku Inari Shrine" and has been worshiped for a long time in a corner of the town.
This area used to be the residence of Higo Kumamoto feudal lord Hosokawa Kaze, and Mototoku Inari Shrine on the same site was entrusted to the townspeople and enshrined nearby Tsunashiki Tenjin Shrine.
The shrine, which is said to be the headquarters of [Tsunashiki Tenjin], is located near Osaka Station. When Sugawara no Michizane passed by when he was transferred to Dazaifu, the stern rope of the ship was tied to a plum tree to make it a seat, which is the origin of the name "Tsunashiki".
With that in mind, someone may have once recommended [Tsunashiki Tenjin] from Osaka, but I didn't know the details. If you have any questions, please let me know.
In any case, since patron saint of academics is a valuable entity in Chuo-ku, why not visit especially those who say, "Let's start this year and focus on studying."
From Ningyocho Station, follow [amazake Yokocho] toward [Meijiza], turn around [Hamacho Ryokudo], the site of [Hamacho Hori], and enter the path after a while. There is also a "Seven Lucky Gods Tour" course in this neighborhood, so I think it's a good idea to go around together.
