List of Owari Tokugawa residences explained

The Tokugawa lords of Owari Domain had the largest number of mansions (尾張藩邸 Owari Han-tei) and owned the largest number of acres across Japan as the senior branch of the Tokugawa clan during the feudal Edo period. Their main residence was the Ninomaru Palace (Ninomaru Goten) at Nagoya Castle, while the Honmaru Palace (Honmaru Goten) was reserved for official guests.^{[1] [2]}

The complex of Nagoya Castle included the Sannomaru Oyakata to the east, and the Shin Goten (New Palace) and the tea houses and pavillons of the Shitaofuke-niwa to the north.^[3] Other significant residences were the Aoi Oshitayashiki and the Ōzone Oshitayashiki.^[4]

Furthermore, in Edo the Owari branch kept a number of large palaces and mansions.^[5]

While many structures were large palaces or mansions with big land tracts around them, other residences were smaller for a reduced retinue.^[6]
