Map of Japanese provinces with province highlighted
Shima (志摩国; -no kuni) was an old province of Japan which consisted of a peninsula in the southeastern part of modern Mie prefecture. Shima bordered on Ise province, and was the smallest of the provinces.
Shima was a prosperous fishing region, and the Nara period governors of Shima were responsible for providing annual gifts of fish to the emperor. The chief town of Shima was Toba, although small Shima was often ruled by the daimyo of larger Ise during the Sengoku period.
