History
It is said that Ashikaga Takauji enshrined the deity. The shrine originated from a Wakamiya (young shrine) enshrined from Ishizumi Hachiman-gu, which was maintained by the Nakayama family. In 1298 CE (Kōan 1), when Emperor Go-Uda used the residence of Nakayama Michinari as a temporary imperial palace, the shrine within the residence came to be called Gosho Hachiman-gu (Gosho Hachiman Shrine). It is also said that Ashikaga Takauji revived the shrine during the Northern and Southern Courts period.

What visitors say
A small shrine with a quiet and calm atmosphere, located facing Oike-dori street. Known as a guardian deity for safe childbirth and infants, the grounds feature a commemorative monument for the marriage of the Crown Prince. While modest in scale as a tourist spot, it is a place with few passersby where one can worship in peace.
