Hitachi-Fuchū Domain

Hitachi-Fuchū Domain (常陸府中藩, Hitachi-Fuchū han^?) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Hitachi Province (modern-day Ibaraki Prefecture), Japan. It was centered on Fuchū Jin'ya in what is now the city of Ishioka, Ibaraki. It was also known as Ishioka Domain (石岡藩, Ishioka han^?) or Naganuma Domain (長沼藩, Naganuma han^?)

The domain was created in 1602, when Rokugō Masanori, the head of the Rokugō clan, a prominent family of Dewa Province, was awarded a 10,000 koku holding in Hitachi-Fuchū for serviced rendered to Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Battle of Sekigahara. The clan was transferred to Honjō Domain in Dewa in 1623. The domain then passed into the hands of the Minagawa clan until 1645, when that clan was reduced to hatamoto status for lack of a direct heir.
