It was originally located halfway up Mt. Tsuru as a subsidiary shrine for Tsuruyama Hachimangu Shrine, but when Tadamasa Mori built Tsuyama Castle in 1604, he moved it to Nozoyama in the south of the castle along with Hachimangu Shrine, and then moved it to Yatsushi in 1608. However, in 1634, the shrine appeared in a dream to Mori Nagatsugu, the second lord of the Tsuyama domain, and was told, ``If you move it to Tsuruyama, it will protect the eternal castle,'' so the shrine was moved to the northern corner of the castle, under the stone wall (about five blocks north of its current location), and then in 1684, it was moved to its current location by Mori Nagayoshi, the third lord of the Tsuyama domain. During the Edo period, it was called Chiyogongen. == Precincts == == Cultural assets == === Important cultural property (designated by city) === Main shrine (building, designated February 17, 2003) The building was completed in 1683. == Local information == Location 82 Yamashita, Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture Transportation access Nearest station: Get off at Tsuyama Station on the JR Himesin Line/Tsuyama Line, then walk for about 17 minutes (about 1.4 km north). surroundings It is located to the east of Tsuruyama Park, and its red torii gate and large lantern are landmarks.
