Many of the most prominent ''daimyô's'' mansions have since become the sites of universities, public gardens, or the like. To name some examples, [[Doshisha University|Dôshisha University]] is based on the former site of the [[Satsuma han]] mansion in Kyoto; [[Tokyo University]]'s main campus was formerly the mansion of the lords of [[Kaga han]]; the [[Akasaka Detached Palace]] was built on the former site of the mansion of the [[Kii Tokugawa clan|Kishû Tokugawa]]; and the garden of [[Tokugawa Yorifusa]] of [[Mito han]], [[Korakuen|Kôrakuen]], continues to be maintained today as a historic site & garden open to the public.
