This shrine was worshipped as the guardian deity of Tsumura-go, Settsu Province, which includes areas such as Senba, Nakanoshima, Kyomachibori, and Utsubo. It has been affectionately known as "Goryo-san," but originally this area was a circular inlet covered with reeds called Tsuburae, and the Tsubura Shrine dedicated to the guardian deity was built there, and it is said that the place name Tsumura is a corrupted version of Tsuburae. In 1594, Hideyoshi enshrined the small Inui Hachiman Shrine and Minamoto Masareisha Shrine together, and the shrine has since been called "Goryo Shrine." Located in the center of commerce and finance, it was once a popular place for worship by merchants from Senba and students of Tekijuku and Kaitokudo. Additionally, from the Meiji era until 1926, the temple grounds were used as a venue for performances by the Goryo Bunraku Theatre, a puppet theater company that was the precursor to the current National Bunraku Theatre, and the area was bustling with shows and night stalls.
