Akashi Domain
The Akashi Domain was a feudal domain of Japan. It occupied Akashi District and surroundings in Harima Province. Fudai and Shimpan daimyō were assigned, and frequently reassigned, to Akashi. The domain had its administrative headquarters at Akashi Castle.
Akashi was established in 1617 when Ikeda Mitsumasa was transferred from the Himeji to the Tottori Domain. Himeji was split, and one piece became the Akashi Domain.''Daimyōs''
