Tango-Tanabe Domain

Following the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu awarded the entire province of Tango to Kyōgoku Takatomo, who established Miyazu Domain.

This proved to be a wise decision, his grandson Kyōgoku Takakuni was charged with misconduct and poor governance by the Tokugawa shogunate and reduced to hatamoto status in 1666.

The third generation Kyōgoku Takamori gave 2000 koku to his younger brother to establish a cadet branch of the clan in 1663, and was transferred to Toyooka Domain in Tajima Province in 1668.

The Kyōgoku were replaced by a cadet branch of the Makino clan from Settsu Province,who ruled until the Meiji restoration.

During the tumultuous Bakumatsu period, the domain supported the Tokugawa shogunate in the First Chōshū expedition, but at the start of the Boshin War was ordered to remain at Maizuru to guard the Sea of Japan coast.
