Fusa Province facts for kids
Fusa Province (総国 or 捄国, Fusa-no kuni) was a very old area in Japan. Think of it like an early version of a state or region. It was located on the island of Honshū, in the parts that are now known as Shimōsa and Kazusa provinces. Sometimes, people called it Sōshū (総州).
The land that used to be Fusa Province is now part of Chiba Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture. These are two modern-day prefectures in Japan.

What Was Fusa Province?
Fusa Province was an important area in ancient Japan. It was one of the many "provinces" that existed before Japan was organized into the system we know today. These old provinces were like administrative regions, helping the government manage the land and people.
A Glimpse into Ancient History
The story of Fusa Province began and ended a very long time ago. It existed before the Taihō Code was put into place. The Taihō Code was a set of laws created in Japan around the early 700s. These laws helped to reorganize the government and how the country was run. Because Fusa Province was gone before these new laws, it shows just how ancient it was!
