Hizen bordered on the provinces of Chikuzen and Chikugo. The province was included in Saikaidō. It did not include the regions of Tsushima and Iki that are now part of modern Nagasaki Prefecture.
==History==
The name "Hizen" dates from the Nara Period ''Ritsuryō'' ''Kokugunri'' system reforms, when the province was divided from Higo Province. The name appears in the early chronicle ''Shoku Nihongi'' from 696 AD. The ancient provincial capital of Hizen was located near Yamato City.
During the late Muromachi Period, the province was the site of much early contact between Japan and Portuguese and Spanish merchants and missionaries. Hirado, and later Nagasaki became major foreign trade centers, and a large percentage of the population converted to Roman Catholicism. Toyotomi Hideyoshi directed the invasion of Korea from the city of Nagoya, in Hizen, and after the suppression of foreign contacts and prohibition against the ''Kirishitan'' religion, the Shimabara Rebellion also took place in Hizen province.
