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 [[Shinsengumi]] and [[Aizu han]] troops, and other forces loyal to the former shogunate in the [[1868]] [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]], during which the structure was severely damaged by cannon fire from [[Satsuma han]] forces based at [[Gokonomiya Shrine|Gokônomiya Shrine]], and eventually burned down.
