社伝によりますと、菅原道真公の三男景行（かげゆき）公は、父の安否を尋ね九州大宰府を訪れました時、道真公自ら自分の姿を描き与え「われ死なば骨を背負うて諸国を遍歴せよ。自ら重うして動かざるあらば、地の勝景我意を得たるを知り、即ち墓を築くべし」と言われ、延喜三年（九〇三）二月二十五日に亡くなられました。
景行公は、遺言どおり遺骨を奉持し、家臣数人と共に諸国を巡ること二十有余年が過ぎ、常陸介（地方長官）として常陸国（茨城県）にやってきました景行公は、延長四年（九二六）に現在の真壁町羽鳥（はとり）に塚を築き、この地方の豪族源護・平良兼等と共に遺骨を納め、一旦お祀りしましたが、三年後延長七年（九二九）当時飯沼湖畔に浮かぶ島（現在地）を道真公が永遠にお鎮まりになる奥都城（墓）と定め、社殿を建て、弟等と共に羽鳥より遺骨を遷し、お祀りされたのが当天満宮です日本各地に道真公を祀る神社が一万余社あるといわれる中で、関東から東北にかけては最古の天満宮といわれ、又遺骨を御神体とし、遺族によってお祀りされたのは当天満宮だけであることなどから日本三天神の一社に数えられ、御廟天神ともいわれています。

According to shrine legend, when Kageyuki, the third son of Sugawara no Michizane, visited Dazaifu in Kyushu to inquire about his father's safety, Michizane himself drew a portrait of himself and said, "When I die, carry my bones on your back and travel around the country. If I am too heavy to move, then I shall know that I have obtained the victory of the earth, and I shall build a tomb for myself.
After more than 20 years of traveling around the country with several of his vassals, he came to Ibaraki Prefecture in the 4th year of Extension (926) and built a mound in Hatori, Makabe Town, where he was enshrined for a time along with Minamigo, Taira-no-Kane, and other powerful families of the region. Three years later, in the 7th year of Extension (929), an island on the shore of Lake Iinuma (the present location) was designated as the tomb of Michizane, where he would reside forever. It is said that this is the oldest Tenmangu Shrine in the Kanto and Tohoku regions, and is one of the three Tenmangu shrines in Japan, and is also called the Gobyo Tenjin Shrine because it is the only Tenmangu Shrine where the remains of the deceased were used as the sacred body and enshrined by the family.
