Fukui Domain
The Fukui Domain was based at Fukui Castle in Echizen Province, the core of the modern city of Fukui, located in the Chūbu region of the island of Honshu. The Fukui Domain was founded by Yūki Hideyasu, the son of "shōgun" Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was ruled for all of its existence by the "shinpan" "daimyō" of the Matsudaira clan. The Fukui Domain was assessed under the "Kokudaka" system and its value peaked at 680,000 "koku". The Fukui Domain was dissolved in the abolition of the han system in 1871 after the Meiji Restoration and its territory was absorbed into Fukui Prefecture.
