province of Japan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iga Province (伊賀国, Iga no kuni) was an old province of Japan in the area of Mie Prefecture on the island of Honshū.[1] It was sometimes called Ishū (伊州).
The province had borders with Ise, Ōmi, Yamato, and Yamashiro.
The capital city of the province was Ueno, also called Iga-Ueno.[2]
In the Meiji period, the provinces of Japan were converted into prefectures. The maps of Japan and Iga Province were reformed in the 1870s.[3]
Iga is a small mountain ringed basin (the Ueno basin) in the center of the Kansai region.
Aekuni jinja was the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) of Iga.[4]
