History of Inaba Province
Japan's way of organizing its land changed a lot during the Meiji period (1868-1912). In the 1870s, the old provinces, like Inaba, were changed into new areas called prefectures. This was a big reform that updated the maps and how Japan was governed.
Important Shrines
Ube jinja was a very important place in Inaba Province. It was the chief Shinto shrine (called an ichinomiya) for the whole province. Shinto shrines are places of worship in Japan's traditional religion.
