In his tenure, he attempted to rebuilt the domain's finances, and stressed public works projects in emulation of Tokugawa Yoshimune, whom he greatly admired. He dismissed a number of incompetent officials and corrupt magistrates, including the domain's "Kanjō-bugyō," and proved to be a popular ruler. In return, Tokugawa Yoshimune ordered that all of the "tenryō" territory in Echizen be administered by Fukui Domain. This effectively added 100,000 "koku" to the domain's "kokudaka". He also completed a comprehensive historical survey of Echizen Province, listing 330 ruins of castles and fortified manors.
