Image:Japan prov map bingo.PNG Bingo (備後国 -no kuni) was a province of Japan on the Inland Sea side of western Honshu, comprising what is today the eastern part of Hiroshima Prefecture. Bingo bordered Bitchu, Hoki, Izumo, Iwami, and Aki Provinces.
The ancient capital is believed to have been in the vicinity of Fuchu. During the Sengoku period, Bingo was part of the Mori clan domains, but after the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu reassigned it to one of his allies.
