Mino Province, Historical province in southern Gifu Prefecture, Japan
The territory of Mino Province spread across present-day Gifu Prefecture, bordered by Omi, Echizen, Hida, Shinano, Ise, Mikawa, and Owari regions.
The province emerged from three separate territories centered around Ogaki, Ono, and Kakamigahara, which united under Yamato rule to form Mino Province.
The province contained numerous Shinto shrines, including a significant sanctuary dedicated to Kanayamabiko mentioned in the Engi ceremonial procedures.
The ancient Tosando highway, connecting Japan's capitals with eastern provinces, traversed through Mino Province, making it a central transportation route.
Wooden tags discovered in Asuka-kyo and Fujiwara-kyo ruins reveal that Mino was initially written with different characters: 三野国 before changing to 美濃.
