Location of Yoshino Province c. 716.

Script error: No such module "Nihongo". was a Japanese province in the area of Nara Prefecture on the island of Honshū.[1] It was a short-lived special division of the provinces of Japan, a part of Kinai. It was composed of only one district, Script error: No such module "Nihongo".. Its extent roughly coincides with that of today's Yoshino District plus Gojō city.

Yoshino was established by separating Yoshino District from Yamato Province. The time of its founding is unknown, but it is thought that it happened at around the same time as the establishment of Script error: No such module "Nihongo". in 716. The unit name “Script error: No such module "Lang".” (Script error: No such module "Lang".) was different from the “Script error: No such module "Lang".” (Script error: No such module "Lang".) of normal provinces. No record remains of the reasons for their establishment. Both new provinces were unusually small and contained secondary palaces: the Script error: No such module "Nihongo". in the Yoshino province and the Chinu Palace in Izumi.

Yoshino Province was abolished some time after the year 738 and its territory was absorbed back into Yamato Province.
