Morosugi Shrine, Shinto shrine in Japan

Morosugi Shrine is a small Shinto shrine in Toyooka with traditional wooden structures and simple design. The grounds feature a modest main hall, small stone lanterns, and tree-lined paths that lead visitors to the central sanctuary.

Tradition holds that the shrine first stood at Mizukami village near Izushi Shrine and was moved to its present site in 1574, when the Yamana clan shifted from Kijōyama Castle to Arujiyama Castle. It appears in the 927 Engishiki register of shrines as Morosugi (or Morosogi) Shrine of Izushi District, Tajima Province. In 1873 it was ranked as a gōsha, and on 21 April 1924 it was raised to kensha; the hall burned in 1876 and was rebuilt in 1884.

The deity is Tajimamorosuku no kami, son of the founding ancestor Amenohiboko according to the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, where the name appears as Tajima Morosuku or Tajima Morosuke. The shrine name Morosugi comes from this Morosuku. In the October festival, about 20 danjiri floats from this shrine, Ishibe Shrine and Ifukube Shrine clash in front of Izushi Castle.

The shrine is located near Izushi Castle ruins and is easy to find when exploring the area. Visitors can walk through quiet paths and enjoy the peaceful surroundings without expecting major facilities, as this is an intimate local place.

The shrine's name comes from Morosuku, the son of the deity Amenohiboko who is said to have opened up the Izushi region. The main hall, rebuilt in 1884 after a fire in 1876, has a copper-sheet roof and a triangular chidori gable on its front facade.
