History

The area is located north of central enceinte across the moat of Nagoya Castle and west of the former Ofuke Garden, since 1931 Meijō Park. The northern border is delineated by the man-made Hori river. The whole area was the site of the New Palace (新御殿 Shin Goten) of Tokugawa Naritomo, 10th Lord of the Owari Domain.[1]
