The deity is Sugawara no Michizane, and in the co-shrines are Chujo-dono (Michizane's eldest son, Takami) and Kissho-jo (Michizane's wife to the north). Michizane died in Dazaifu in 903 (Engi 3), and in 905, Ajizake Yasuyuki built a shrine at his grave by divine revelation. This is Dazaifu Tenmangu.
