{{Nihongo|'''Fumikoku'''|不弥国}} is one of the countries that existed in the [[Japanese archipelago]] in the [[3rd century]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=不弥国(fumikoku) - 邪馬台国 |url=http://nihon-rekishi.com/yamataikoku/fumikoku.html |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=nihon-rekishi.com}}</ref>
== Outline ==
According to [[Records of the Three Kingdoms|The History of the Three Kingdoms]], [[Cao Wei|Wei]]'s [[Dongyi]] biography, commonly known as [[Wajinden|Wajin Biography]], and [[History of the Northern Dynasties]]. According to [[Nakoku|Nukoku]] (or [[Itokoku]]), Fiya-guni (不彌國) is located 100 ri east of [[Nakoku|Nukoku]], and its chief is called Tamomi and its deputy is called Hinamori, with over 1000 houses.
The chief is called Tamomi and his deputy is called Hinamori, and there are more than 1,000 families.
There is little difference between the various theories regarding the route from [[Tsushima Province]] to Nukuni, but the location of [[Toumakoku]] and [[Yamataikoku]] differ greatly between the [[Yamatai Kyushu Theory|Kyushu]] and ''[[Yamatai Honshu Theory|Honshu theories]]'', and according to the direct route theory, Fumikoku is the route to these two countries. Therefore, the location of Fumikoku is the dividing line between the [[Yamatai Kyushu Theory|Kyushu]] and ''[[Yamatai Honshu Theory|Honshu theory]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=２０. 邪馬台国周辺の考古学 －その７－ |url=http://inoues.net/yamahonpen17.html |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=inoues.net}}</ref>
In addition, the fact that the article on "{{nihongo|Rikugyo Suigyo|陸行水行}}" is different from the articles on the journey to other countries and is heterogeneous {{Efn|It is said that land travel from [[Matsurokoku]] to Itsukoku is also mixed.}}. In addition, since there are no articles on land travel by water or Toumadoku in the oldest extant record of [[Weilüe|Wei Xuan]], there is a theory that these articles were mixed in when it was copied later, and that it actually only went south from Fumikuni to Yamataikuni.<ref>宝賀寿男「[http://wwr2.ucom.ne.jp/hetoyc15/kodaisi/yama-ronsou/yama-ichi1.htm 邪馬台国論争は必要なかった－邪馬台国所在地問題の解決へのアプローチ－]」『古樹紀之房間』、2015年。</ref>。
Furthermore, the article on "Overland and Oversea Routes" is distinct from other travel records to foreign countries.{{Efn|The overland travel from Matsurokoku to Ito was also considered a mixed record.}} In the oldest surviving record, the "Weilüe," there is no mention of overland and oversea routes or the country of Tobamare, leading some to believe that these articles were added in later copies and that in reality, the journey was simply a southward journey from Fumi no Kuni to Yamatai.
