Tsuno

Tsuno lies on the Inland Sea coast of Suō, where wooded hills rise behind the harbour of Tokuyama. In 1617 Mōri Naritaka, a son of Terumoto, received lands in Tsuno and neighbouring Kumage as a branch domain. In 1650 he moved his residence to Nogami, a place favoured by its access to transport, and renamed it Tokuyama. The town developed as the seat of the Tokuyama branch of the Mōri house.
