Bingo Province


Explanation:
As someone commented, it was once a province that is today the eastern part of Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan.

From Wikipedia:

"Bingo Province (備後国 Bingo no kuni) was a province of Japan on the Inland Sea side of western Honshū, comprising what is today the eastern part of Hiroshima Prefecture. It was sometimes called Bishū (備州?), with Bizen and Bitchu Provinces. Bingo bordered Bitchū, Hōki, Izumo, Iwami, and Aki Provinces."
