Kazusa (上総国; -no kuni) was an old province in the area of the Boso Peninsula of Honshū that is today the central part of Chiba prefecture. Kazusa bordered on Awa and Shimousa Provinces.
Kazusa was usually run from a castle town at Otaki, although the ancient capital was likely located near Ichihara, across the peninsula.
