Hamamatsu Domain
was a Japanese domain of the Edo period, located in Tōtōmi Province. It was centered on what is now Hamamatsu Castle in what is now the city of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture. Hamamatsu was the residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu for much of his early career, and Hamamatsu Castle was nicknamed due to Ieyasu's promotion to shōgun. The domain was thus considered a prestigious posting, and was seen as a stepping stone in a ''daimyō''s rise to higher levels with the administration of the Tokugawa shogunate, such ''rōjū'' or ''wakadoshiyori.'' The domain had a population of 3324 samurai in 776 households at the start of the Meiji period.

The domain was centered at Kanō Castle, located in what is now part of the city of Gifu in Gifu Prefecture. History Before the Battle of Sekigahara, the central Mino Province was ruled by Oda Hidenobu, Oda Nobunaga's grandson, from his base at Gifu Castle. However, as Hidenobu sided with Ishida Mitsunari at the Battle of Sekigahara, his territory was confiscated by Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1601, Ieyasu granted the area to his son-in-law Okudaira Nobumasa. Okudaira Nobumasa was allowed to build Kanō Castle with materials from the dismantled Gifu Castle. This was the birth of the Kanō Domain. Nobumasa's placement at Kanō was meant to act as a check against the potentially hostile lords of western Japan, who might have wanted to march eastward against Ieyasu. Nobumasa retired in 1602, handing over the position of ''daimyō'' to his son Okudaira Tadamasa; however, he retained 40,000 of ...
