The aims of this study were to clarify the current status of the reorganization of public facilities, and the status of revitalization of the castle district domains. Findings are as follows : 1) old castle land tends to be used more for public lands than does old samurai land, more than 50% of which is used for commercial activities, 2) the reorganization of public facilities often occurred in former samurai lands and commercial zones, 3) historic sites were most often designated in those cities where these revitalization and restoration efforts were conducted in separate areas.
