Echigo Province, Historical province in Chūbu region, Japan
Echigo Province extends along the Sea of Japan coastline, encompassing the current Niigata Prefecture territory except for Sado Island.
The province emerged in the 7th century when Emperor Monmu divided the ancient Koshi Province into three separate administrative regions: Echizen, Etchū, and Echigo.
The region maintains the Yahiko Shrine and Kota Shrine, both claiming the status of principal Shinto sanctuaries of the former province.
The Hokurikudō highway system connected multiple post stations throughout Echigo, facilitating trade and communication between different parts of the province.
The port of Niigata within Echigo Province served as a central point in the kitamaebune trading network during the Edo period.
Location: Hokurikudō
Shares border with: Etchū Province, Shinano Province, Kōzuke Province, Mutsu Province, Dewa Province, Sado Province
