Inaba Province, Historical region in eastern Tottori Prefecture, Japan
The territory extended across the eastern section of current Tottori Prefecture, sharing boundaries with Hoki, Mimasaka, Harima and Tajima provinces.
The Ifukube clan governed Inaba during the late Kofun and Asuka periods, with Princess Ifukibe no Tokotari serving at Emperor Mommu's court.
The provincial capital contained the Ube shrine, designated as the ichinomiya, which represented the principal spiritual center of the region.
Archaeological excavations throughout the area revealed settlements from the Japanese Paleolithic period, including Yayoi and Kofun burial structures.
The name Inaba appears in different forms in ancient texts, with the Kojiki using 稲羽 and the Kujiki using 稲葉 in their recordings.
