Encyclopedia : E : EC : ECH : Echigo Province
Echigo (越後国; -no kuni) was an old province in north-central Japan, on the Sea of Japan side. It bordered on Uzen, Iwashiro, Kozuke, Shinano, and Etchu provinces. Today the area is part of Niigata prefecture, which also includes the island which was the old Sado province.
Echigo was ruled by Uesugi Kenshin and his heirs during the Sengoku period; later it became a fief of Ieyasu's Matsudaira relatives.
