'''Wakasa''' (若狭) was a province of [[Japan]] which, together with {{Wiki|Echizen Province|Echizen}}, encompasses what is now {{Wiki|Fukui Prefecture}} in modern-day.<ref name="DB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Wakasa]]</ref> During the [[Sengoku period]], the province bordered the {{Wiki|Sea of Japan}} to the north, [[Ōmi]] to the east, [[Yamashiro]] to the south and [[Tamba]] to the west. Because of its location between the sea and [[Lake Biwa]] in Ōmi, Waksa has been an important nodal point between [[Kyoto]] and the Sea of Japan since historic times.<ref name="DB" />

At the time of the 16th century, Wakasa had been dominated by the Takeda clan before its control was finally handed over to [[Niwa Nagahide]] in 1573.<ref name="DB" />
