Map of Japanese provinces (1868) with Chikuzen Province highlighted
Chikuzen Province (筑前国, Chikuzen-no kuni) was a province of Japan in the area of northern Kyūshū, corresponding to part of north and western Fukuoka Prefecture.[1] Chikuzen bordered on Hizen to the east, and Buzen east, and Bungo to the southeast. Its abbreviated form name was Chikushū (筑州) (a name which it shared with Chikugo Province), although it was also called Chikuyo (筑陽). In terms of the Gokishichidō system, Chikuzen was one of the provinces of the Saikaidō circuit. Under the Engishiki classification system, Chikuzen was ranked as one of the "superior countries" (上国) in terms of importance, and one of the "far countries" (遠国) in terms of distance from the capital.
