History[change]
Tōtōmi was one of the original provinces of Japan established in the Nara period under the Taihō Code.
In the Edo period, the Tōkaidō road was the main route between Kyoto and Edo. The road passed through Tōtōmi.[2]
In the Meiji period, the provinces of Japan were converted into prefectures. The maps of Japan and Izu Province were reformed in the 1870s.[3]
Shrines and Temples[change]
Oguni jinja and Kotonomamahachimangū were the chief Shinto shrines (ichinomiya) of Tōtōmi.[4]
