From the Kyoto Prefectural Government, walk toward Nijo Castle and you will find it on your left. Hachimangu Shrine, which protects against evil, is called Gosho Hachimangu Shrine because of the history that Takauji Ashikaga has solicited as a guardian deity in the residence. It has been popular. In particular, it is famous as a guardian deity for easy delivery and infants, and along with Miyake-Hachiman, it is called "Mushi-Hachiman" and is gaining public faith. Nakagyo Ward Takakura-dori Oike Higashi Kikkoyacho Emperor Ojin, Empress Jingu, and Himegami are the three deities of worship. Originally located in Gosho Hachimancho, southwest corner of Oike Sakaimachi, it was relocated to this area due to the forced evacuation of Oike-dori during the Pacific War, and Gosho Hachimangu Shrine is located in the southeast corner of Takakura Oike. There is. However, in the past, it is said that the precincts were wide and children played with kites. There are still many people who miss those days. Going back even further, it was a larger and magnificent shrine. When did Gosho-Hachimangu Shrine exist in the first place? Why is it "Hachimangu"? Also, why is it named "Gosho"? I would like to solve the history in order to answer such a simple question. In the Heian-kyo era, this area where we live would be from Sanbo to Shibo in Sakyo Sanjo. There were many mansions of the public lord, with the inner lining and the sato inner lining. In the Muromachi period, it became a samurai residence and became the center of politics and economy. Flowers bloom in culture. However, he is caught up in a big battle that will change Kyoto. Kyoto, which has been thoroughly devastated, will gradually be reconstructed along with the remodeling of the city, and will be transformed into a vibrant commercial city with an increasing number of townspeople and merchants. It develops from modern to modern times while surpassing the great fire of the Edo period after that. Looking back, while all the famous mansions and temples have disappeared from our town, Gosho-Hachimangu is still enshrined here. The precincts have become smaller, but I think this is a rare thing.

The Gosho Hachimangu Shrine was originally located in the southwest corner of Oike Sakai Town, but was moved to the area due to forced evacuation during the Pacific War. The reason why this Hachimangu is called the Gosho Hachimangu is due to the fact that it enrolled Mr. Takashi Ashikaga as the guardian deity of his own residence. There is also a stone monument of the remains of the Ashikaga Takashi residence on the north side of Oike-dori, and you can see the reason for it.

Gosho Hachimangu Hachimangu has a long history and is said to have been solicited by Takauji Ashikaga as the guardian deity of the residence. It is said that it is also called Takakura Hachiman from the place such as Tojiinji Hachiman, taking the name of Takauji. It is famous as a guardian deity for easy delivery and infants.
