Bizen Province

The territory spans across fertile plains and hills in the Chūgoku region, bordered by Bitchū, Mimasaka, and Harima provinces along the Seto Inland Sea.

The region emerged from the division of Kibi Province during the Ritsuryō reforms in the late 7th century, taking its name from its proximity to the capital.

The province maintains recognition for producing Bizen pottery, characterized by unglazed ceramics created through traditional methods dating to the 14th century.

The Former Shizutani School, situated in the province, represents Japan's first public education institution and currently functions as a historical landmark.

The Gominoichi Market in Hinase presents local fishermen selling fresh catches, particularly oysters harvested from the Seto Inland Sea.
