P.S. Yes, I know 'Fuso' is mssing from the list, this is due to it not being a province, instead it is an old name for Japan meaning "Land of Divine Mulberry Trees".
Also the 'Kongo' class were BCs and so were named after mountains not provinces, except for 'Kongo' herself, the name of which had Buddhist meanings.

Ask other characters for Info about which provinces are strong, and perhaps which rulers are motivated to build up their armies again after losing some troops (though this last is speculation on my part).
Also, perform some sabotage (Spy-Damage) missions against the province you want to invade to reduce its troops, either on your own or with Advice-Damage against the territory (slower, but you'll get paid for it), and make sure none of your potential sponsor's *other* enemies are forcing it to remain on the defensive.
You might cross a bridge west on the way there, or you might wind up approaching from the north along the coast, in which case you will pass a small dock leading to the town of Sado and it's nearby gold mine (a dungeon you are not ready for).
