At Kitano Tenman-gu shrine will hold the New Year\u2019s Festival \u201cHatsu Tenjin Fesitival\u201d.
\nTenjin festival is the monthly festival day of Kitano Tenman-gu shrine on the 25th day every month. The first Tenjin festival (Ennichi) of the year (or the first ones of the month) is specifically named by attaching the word \u201chatsu\u201d(first) to the beginning of the name. The date of 25th has its roots on the anniversary of the birth and death of Sugawara no Michizane, the main enshrined diety.
\n 
\nAbout 150,000 people participate in this event every year.
\nThe shrine grounds will be lit up beginning at sunset with lively gathering of nearly 1,500 stalls! Visitor can purchase food, sundries, used clothes and used tools there.
\nThese stalls are kind of a flea market or antique market, so visitors can try to negotiate the price of goods (except food).

\nSugawara no Michizane is best known for being the \u201cgod of academics\u201d.
\nThis is why many students come to pray for passing scores on examination and people who wish for the improvement of their abilities. Several statues of oxen are enshrined in the compound, because Sugawara no Michizane was born in the year of the ox.
\nIt is said that if you pat the head of the cow, you marks will improve. During the winter examination season, long lines of students and their parents receive their lucky charm.
\n 
\nIt will be cloudy, followed by sun though the highest temperature will be less than 10 degree on January 25th. It must be a quite cold weather, warm clothes are recommended.
\n 
\nOn that day, the building illumination will be held from sunset to 9:00 p.m. 350 stone lanterns and 250 hung lanterns are lighted and make it fantastic atmosphere.
