*''Japanese'': 伏見奉行 ''(Fushimi bugyô)''
The ''Fushimi bugyô'', or Fushimi Magistrate, was a [[Tokugawa shogunate]] official charged with administering the town of [[Fushimi]]. The magistrate not only oversaw administrative and judicial matters pertaining to the town itself, but also river traffic along the [[Ujigawa]], [[Yodogawa]], and [[Takase canal]]; tax collection in neighboring villages; and other matters. The most prominent figure to hold this position was [[Kobori Enshu|Kobori Enshû]], known for designing numerous famous and significant gardens in and around [[Kyoto]].
Naitô Masatsuna served as ''Fushimi bugyô'' in the [[Bakumatsu period]]. The position was abolished following the death of ''bugyô'' [[Hayashi Tadakata]] on [[1867]]/6/26, with Fushimi being placed into the jurisdiction of the Kyoto ''[[machi bugyo|machi bugyô]]''. The former ''bugyôsho'' then became the chief base for shogunate forces during the [[1868]] [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]], during which the structure was severely damaged by [[Satsuma han]] cannon fire, and eventually burned down.
The Imperial Guard, and later the 16th engineering battalion were then later based at the site. Today, the site is home to a public housing development.
