Togo-so - Togo no sho

The estate was the domain of Matsuo Taisha Shrine in Arashiyama, Kyoto, in the Chugoku region. It was located in Lake Togo and its surrounding area in Kawamura County, Hoki Province (near present-day Yurihama Town, Tohaku County, Tottori Prefecture), and was established at the end of the Heian period. Its first appearance in a historical document was in the "Map of the Dividing Areas of Togo Manor, Kawamura County, Hoki Province," dated November 1258 (Shoka 2). This map shows the actual flow of the Tenjin River and the specific details of how the estate was divided between the lord and the land steward. It is particularly notable that the lord divided the estate to the west and the land steward to the east, with the pond as the main focus, and that the goal was to divide the cultivated land, settlements, and mountains and fields equally, with a moat built on the site. During the Muromachi period, the Matsuo Taisha Shrine lost its territory due to the feudal domain system of the Yamana clan, the provincial governor of the prefecture. The Shidori Shrine of Ichinomiya in Hoki is located within the manor.

中国地方にあった京都嵐山(あらしやま)の松尾(まつお)大社領荘園。伯耆(ほうき)国河村(かわむら)郡内の東郷池とその周辺（現鳥取県東伯(とうはく)郡湯梨浜(ゆりはま)町付近）にあり、平安末期に成立した。1258年（正嘉2）11月付けの「伯耆国河村郡東郷荘下地中分図(したじちゅうぶんのず)」が史料上の初見である。この図で天神(てんじん)川の流路などの実態と、荘園を領家(りょうけ)と地頭(じとう)とが折半する際の具体的な様相がわかる。とくに領家は西方、地頭は東方と池を中心として分けながら、耕地、集落、山野それぞれでも均等に分けることを目標とし、現地に堀切を設けようとした点は特徴的である。室町期には守護山名(やまな)氏の領国制により、松尾大社領としての実を失う。荘域に伯耆一宮(いちのみや)の倭文(しどり)神社がある。
