一、例祭日 七月二十五日
当菅原院天満宮神社は「学問の神様」として知られる菅原道真公がお生まれになった霊地であり、道真公だけではなく、曾祖父・古人朝臣、祖父・清公卿、父・是善卿がご住居とされておりました地であります。古人朝臣は桓武帝に、清公卿は嵯峨、淳和、仁明の三帝に、是善卿は文徳、清和の両帝に奉仕し、栄職にあったので、この邸宅も受け継ぎ住まわれ、世に菅原院と呼ばれたのであります。拾芥抄によれば菅原院は勘解由小路烏丸の西一町菅贈太政大臣の御所、或は云く参議是善卿の住居といわれた。当時歓喜光寺と号し、北野祭の日神氏此所に来りて枇杷を取りて神に供され、また古図には烏丸、室町通、下立売通、椹木町通に囲まれた邸地を菅原院と記載され、往古は境域の広大であったことがわかる。又袋草子国宝北野縁起(藤原信実朝臣筆)菅氏録によれば、菅原院は是善卿の旧邸地にして菅公は此の処に於いて御誕生あらせられ爾来菅公このところを邸地とし給ひ、ついで菅家のために、此地に歓喜光寺を創建されましたが後故ありて六條道場に移転。残された殿舎に道真公御誕生の地である事を持って一社を設け、学祖人として菅原道真公を本座とし御父是善卿を奉祀して古より断ゆること無く今に至り実に是れ菅公御発祥の霊地にして清蹟廿五拝の第一にして今も尚産湯の井及び天満宮御遺愛の石燈籠一基が残っております。

2. The annual festival takes place on 25th of July.
Sugawara Temmangu Shrine is a sacred place where Michizane Sugawara, known as "a patron of learning" was born, and it was lived by not only Michizane, but also his great grandfather Furuhito Ason, his grandfather Kiyokimi, and his father Koreyoshi. Furuhito Ason served Emperor Kammu, Kiyokimi served three Emperors of Saga, Junna, and Nimmyo. Koreyoshi served Emperors Montoku and Seiwa. This residence, known as "Sugawarain" was handed down through generations of the Sugawaras resuming honorable posts in Imperial Courts. According to Shougaisho (an encyclopedia), Sugawarain was the residence of Michizane or his father Koreyoshi, and occupied one block in the west of the Kageyukoji Karasuma area. In the 9th century, it was named Kankikoji temple. On Kitano Festival day, loquats were picked and offered to the deities here. On old maps, Sugawarain appears as a piece of land surrounded by Karasuma, Muromachi, Shimodachiuri, and Sawaragicho streets, with which one can tell that it was quite an extensive residence. According to the record on Michizane Sugawara in Kitanoengi volume of "Fukurozoshii" poetry book (National Treasure. Written by Nobuzane Fujiwara Ason), Sugawarain was the formaer residence of Koreyoshi. Michizane was born and lived here, and founded Kankikoji temple for the Sugawaras. However, the temple was later moved to Rokujodojo. A shrine was built on the remaining structure to commemorate the belief that it is the birthplace of Michizane. Michizane Sugawara, a patron of learning is enshrined along with his father Koreyoshi.
The shrine has been in existence till now as a sacred birthplace of Michizane and as the 1st place to be visited in the pilgrimage covering twenty-five shrines dedicated to Michizane Sugawara. The well used for Michizane's first bath and his beloved stone lantern still remain.
