The Guardian Deity of the Household
京都市南区上鳥羽北島田町１１
A shrine enshrining Wakikiyomaro and Wakihirochū as its main deities, commonly known by the nickname 'Inoshishi Shrine' (Boar Shrine) due to a local legend involving a boar.
History
The shrine originated as Goshuzen Shrine within the grounds of Shugō-ji Temple, founded by the Wake clan. It was relocated to its current site in 1926 CE (Taishō 15). Wakikiyomaro was granted the highest rank of divine status for his role in protecting the imperial lineage, while Wakihirochū was enshrined together as Kodaka Myōjin (Deity of Child-Rearing) for his contributions to the relief of orphans.
