Izu Province, Historical province in eastern Honshu, Japan
The province covered the Izu Peninsula and islands, featuring mountainous terrain, deep coastlines, and numerous hot springs along the Pacific coast.
Established between 680 and 710 AD by merging three districts, Izu Province served as an exile location for political prisoners during the Heian period.
The province contains multiple Buddhist temples, including Shuzenji Temple built in 807 AD, and the Mishima Taisha shrine remains a central religious institution.
Modern transportation includes the Tokaido Shinkansen rail line and multiple expressways connecting the region to Tokyo and other major Japanese cities.
The region produces wasabi in its mountain streams and contains the Amagi Mountain Range, with Mount Amagi reaching 1,406 meters in elevation.
