History
The mansions of the important vassals of the Owari feudal domain were put on Sannomaru(South in Nagoya Castle) in the Edo period. Moreover, the Kameo-Tennoh shrine, Nagoya Toshogu shrine, and the mausoleums of the past feudal lord were placed. It was that townspeople were able to go into Sannomaru only at the festival time..
The important vassal's mansions etc. were destroyed and barracks etc. were built. From 1911 to 1976, the train of the Meitetsu Seto line was running along the inside of the outer moat.
Some armies transferred in a suburb at the beginning of Showa Era(1926-1989). Nagoya City Hall and Aichi Prefectural Office relocated to the former site, and it is designated as National important cultural properties now.
