Wakasa Domain (若桜藩, Wakasa-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Inaba Province in modern-day Tottori Prefecture.[1]

In the han system, Wakasa was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[2] In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area.[3] This was different from the feudalism of the West.

List of daimyōs[]

The hereditary daimyōs were head of the clan and head of the domain.
