Mimasaka Province, Historical province in northeastern Okayama, Japan
The mountainous region of Mimasaka Province extended across three major river basins: the Asahi River, Yoshii River, and a western smaller basin.
The province came into existence on May 1, 713, when officials Bizen-no-kami Nanten and Bizen-no-suke Kamitsukeno-no-Kenji proposed splitting districts from Bizen Province.
The Nakayama Shrine, designated as the primary Shinto sanctuary of Mimasaka Province, stands as a testament to the religious practices of the region.
The province maintained strong connections with neighboring territories including Bitchū, Bizen, Harima, Hōki, and Inaba Provinces through established trade routes.
Government records from the early Meiji period document that Mimasaka contained 766 villages with a combined kokudaka measurement of 263,477 koku.
