Hino District, Tottori

Hino (日野郡, Hino-gun) is a district located in Tottori Prefecture, Japan.

The Wamyō Ruijushō, a 10th-century Japanese dictionary, records that the district consisted of six villages by the time of the Heian period (794 – 1185).

Hino District was noted for the production of iron, steel, and tobacco in the Edo period.

In 1858 Hino was separated into two districts, but records from the period indicate the borders of the area were, in general, poorly defined.

Under the administrative reforms of the Meiji period (1868 – 1912) Hino District was re-established, and in 1889 consisted of 29 villages.
