Kazusa Province, Historical province in central Bōsō Peninsula, Japan
Located in present-day Chiba Prefecture, Kazusa Province stretched from Tokyo Bay to the Pacific Ocean, with Shimōsa Province to the north and Awa Province to the south.
Emperor Kōtoku divided the original Fusa Province into upper and lower portions between 645 and 654, establishing Kazusa as a distinct administrative region within Japan.
The Tamasaki Shrine, designated as the Ichinomiya of Kazusa Province, stands as the principal Shinto sanctuary in what is now Ichinomiya town, Chiba Prefecture.
The province contained fifteen counties until 718, when four of these territories separated to form Awa Province, reducing the administrative divisions of Kazusa.
The name of the Bōsō Peninsula derives from the combination of characters from Awa Province and the provinces of Kazusa and Shimōsa.
