The domain maintained two [[Owari Tokugawa Edo mansion|mansions]] in [[Edo]]: one at Kôjimachi (the neighborhood is now known as Kioi-chô), and one at Ichigaya. The grounds of the latter is today home to the Ministry of Defense.
Many of the treasures previously owned by the Tokugawa lords of Owari are today held in the [[Tokugawa Art Museum]] in Nagoya.
