Yodo Domain
The Yodo Domain (淀藩, Yodo-han?) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period, and the only domain located in Yamashiro Province. Its castle was located within modern-day Fushimi, Kyoto.
During the 1868 Battle of Toba-Fushimi, the master of Yodo famously changed his allegiance from the Shogunate to Imperial forces, going as far as closing his gate and refusing protection to the retreating army of the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
