History
According to shrine tradition, Tokumori Jinja was founded in 733 CE (Tenpyo 5) and was originally located in the Odenaka district of Tsuyama City. Following a fire in 1539 CE (Tenbun 8), Mori Tadamasa relocated the shrine to its current site in 1604 CE (Keicho 9), establishing it as the head guardian shrine at the foot of Tsuyama Castle. The current shrine buildings were reconstructed in 1664 CE (Kanbun 4) by the second domain lord, Mori Nagatsugu. The shrine was classified as a Kenja (Prefectural Shrine) in 1872 CE (Meiji 5).
