The area extends beyond the plane to today's Nara prefecture. After Gokishichidō - division of Japan in the 7th century it was one of the five interior provinces ( Kinai ).

( " Country United Wa [= Japan ] " literally) written, with a notation for Yamato, which asserted itself in the Asuka period originally the province was as大 倭国. 737 in the spelling大 养 徳 国was (literally " great, nurturing, virtuous country " ) changed, but this was 747 reversed. 752 or 757, the spelling was eventually set as大 和 国.

Yamato is regarded as the Japanese mainland, not only because of the family connection to Tennō, but also because the Japanese rulers for centuries had its headquarters in various locations in the area and stayed because here get very many historic buildings (especially Temple Complex ) are. Both Kyoto and Nara were declared a World Heritage Site.
