Ashigaru
Residences for ashigaru, or foot soldiersDaimyo
Residences designed for Daimyo or Daimyo level family members. Typically the Daimyo and his family would live in the goten on the castle grounds proper, but there are cases, such as Matsushiro Castle where a residence besides the goten was built for this purposes. Further, until the very end of the Edo Period most family members had to live in Edo. Since no Edo Period daimyo residences still exist in Tokyo, this category is very small.Lower Class
