The Okazaki Domain encompassed the Mikawa Province, which is situated in what is now the eastern part of Aichi Prefecture. The administrative center of the domain was established within the walls of the historic Okazaki Castle. Due to its associations with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was born in Okazaki Castle, the domain had a prestige greater than in its nominal valuation based on rice tax revenues.[1][2][3]
