Yushima Shrine.
(Yushima Tenjin, 湯島天神).
Currently set in the Chiyoda district of Tōkyō, during the Edo era when the city rose up as the center of the military power, with the founding of the Monzen block (Monzenchō) inside it Yushima became a
residential area for lower rank vassals of the Shōgun.
Yushima Tenjin was revered and worshipped as the God of learning and study by any citizen, despite of theri rank or social status.
In the Genroku era (1688 ~ 1704) a shrine dedicated to Confucius was moved in the area from Ueno and a Shogunate government authorized educational facility (the Shōheizaka gakumondokoro) was established too.
