*''Japanese'': 江戸加賀藩邸 ''(Edo Kaga hantei)''
The main [[daimyo yashiki|mansion]] of [[Kaga han]] in [[Edo]] covered roughly 267 acres, filled with warehouses, barracks, residences, gardens, and schools, and inhabited by as many as 30,000 people.<ref>[[Albert M. Craig]], ''The Heritage of Japanese Civilization'', Second Edition, Prentice Hall (2011), 72.</ref> The space is today the main campus of the [[University of Tokyo]].
The lord of Kaga han typically [[sankin kotai|arrived in Edo]] with an entourage of 8,000, leaving roughly 4,000 behind afterwards to help manage his estates.
The famous red gate (''akamon'') still standing on the university campus was originally built in [[1827]] for the occasion of the marriage of Kaga daimyô [[Maeda Nariyasu]] to [[Yohime|Yôhime]], 21st daughter of Shogun [[Tokugawa Ienari]].<ref>Craig, 78.; "[http://www.seisonkaku.com/english/tenjisitu/meihin5.html Embroidered Costume on Pale Blue Crepe]," [[Seisonkaku]] official website.</ref>
