Tango Province, Historical province in northern Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
The province extends along the Sea of Japan coastline, encompassing the current cities of Miyazu and Maizuru with a total area of 1,283 square kilometers.
In 713, during Empress Genmei's reign, the territory separated from Tamba Province to form an independent administrative region with five northern districts.
The Kono Shrine, recognized as the principal Shinto sanctuary of the province, stands as a central religious institution in the former provincial capital of Miyazu.
The region developed trade connections with mainland Asia, evidenced by discoveries of ancient Xin dynasty coins at the Hakoishihama archaeological site in Kumihama.
During the Edo Period, the province became known for producing Tango chirimen silk crepe cloth, introduced by craftsmen from the Nishijin district.
