About this place
Tatsuno (たつの市, Tatsuno-shi) is a city in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. As of 31 May 2022, the city had an estimated population of 74,414 in 31119 households and a population density of 6200 persons per km2. The total area of the city is 210.87 square kilometres (81.42 sq mi). The city's name is spelled "たつの", using hiragana, but the name of Tatsuno Station uses the kanji characters "竜野", while the historic name for the place uses the characters "龍野." According to the Harima no Kuni Fudoki, the origin of the name "Tatsuno" was that upon the death of Nomi no Sukune in Ibo District (now in the city of Tatsuno), many came from Izumo and used rock from the Ibo River to make a grave, standing stones in a row on the plain. Thus, it was called "立野", with characters meaning "stand" and "plain", from which it is thought to have changed to "龍野". Nomi no Sukune Shrine is located at the place said to be his grave.
