This shrine enshrines Wakakira no Yasumaro and Wakakira no Hiromushi as its main deities. It is commonly known as "Inoshishi Shrine" due to legends involving wild boars. The shrine is also renowned for promoting leg and joint health, and the grounds feature numerous items related to wild boars.
History
The shrine originated as the Gobou Zen Shrine at Takaozan Jingo-ji Temple, founded by the Wakakira clan, though the exact date of establishment is unknown. In 1851 (Kaei 4), Wakakira no Yasumaro was granted the divine title of Gobou Daimyojin and the rank of Sho-i-i. In 1886 (Meiji 19), the shrine was renamed Gobou Shrine and relocated to the site of the former Nakain family residence. In 1915 (Taisho 4), Wakakira no Hiromushi was jointly enshrined.
