History change
In the late 1580s, Kanamori Nagachika occupied Hida Province.[2] Kanamori's heirs held the province through the Edo Period when it came under direct rule by the Tokugawa shogunate.[3]
In the Meiji period, the provinces of Japan were converted into prefectures. The maps of Japan and Hida Province were reformed in the 1870s.[4]
