The [[Hosokawa clan]] lords of [[Kumamoto han]] maintained several [[daimyo yashiki|mansions]] in Edo.
Its "upper mansion" (''kami yashiki'') was located just east of [[Edo castle]]. The Marunouchi Oazo shopping center, attached to [[Tokyo Station]], stands on the site today.
The former grounds of one of the domain's "lower mansions" (''shimo yashiki'') is today a public park in the Hamachô neighborhood, on the western bank of the [[Sumidagawa]], south of [[Ryogoku Bridge|Ryôgoku Bridge]].
The site of the domain's other "lower mansion," obtained by the domain only shortly before the [[Meiji Restoration]], is today the [[Higo-Hosokawa Garden]]s in the Mejirodai neighborhood of Bunkyô-ku, sitting along the northern bank of the [[Kandagawa]]. The [[Eisei Bunko]], an archive of the Hosokawa clan's private collections, is located within the gardens.
