[4] It is said that the third shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu admired this garden when he visited and used it as a model for the Fukiage part of Edo Castle.

[7][8] Located west of the Ofuke Garden was lord Tokugawa Naritomo's Shin Goten (新御殿 New Palace) in what is today Horibata-chō (堀端町).

[9] The area was originally larger, incorporating land to the east of today's park across Otsu-dori where Aichi Gakuin University - Meijo Koen Campus is located.

During the Kan'ei era (1624-44), the first lord of Owari, Tokugawa Yoshinao (1600-50) had a noborigama kiln constructed at the eastern corner of the Ofuke garden and invited potters from Seto.
