In the Edo period, the Tosa han mansion stood in this area, extending from the west bank of the Takase Canal west to Kawaramachi. At that time, a gate to the mansion faced the canal, and opened onto the so-called "Tosabashi" ("Tosa Bridge") which extended over the canal.
The mansion was established some time early in the Edo period, but in 1690, laws were more specifically put into place requiring the defense of these Kyoto mansions. The mansions served as offices for communications between the provincial domain and Kyoto, and as representative sites for the domain, interacting with both samurai authorities and with townsmen (chônin; merchants).
Along with Satsuma and Chôshû, Tosa was one of the domains which seized the initiative in dominating political events of the Bakumatsu period. Takechi Zuizan, Sakamoto Ryôma, Nakaoka Shintarô, Gotô Shôjirô, and others were active at that time as shishi (anti-shogunate rebels / Imperial loyalists). The mansion was, of course, the focal point of all Tosa activity in Kyoto.
Two Shinto shrines strongly associated with Tosa han were located to the west side of the mansion, and townspeople were permitted to pass through the mansion in order to visit these shrines.
