In [[1844]], [[Tokugawa Nariaki]] fell out of favor with the shogun & with the ''[[roju|rôjû]]'', and relocated himself, his family, and a number of their attendants and retainers, from the Koishikawa mansion to the one at Komagome.

The main building of the Komagome mansion was destroyed in a fire in [[1853]], and much of the compound was severely damaged, along with much of the city, in the [[1855]] [[Ansei Earthquake]].

The former site of the Koishikawa Mito mansion is today the location of the Tokyo Dome, home of the Yomiuri Giants baseball team, though the gardens have been maintained (or reconstructed) and are open to the public today.
