Tane Province

 was an old province of Japan in the area of Kagoshima Prefecture, roughly corresponding to Kumage Subprefecture.
History.
Kofun burial mounds on Tanegashima and two very old Shinto shrines on Yakushima suggest that these islands were the southern border of the Yamato state.
Annals of the Nara period regard Tane-no-kuni as the name for all the Ryukyu Islands, including Tanegashima and Yakushima.
