History

Gōdo-noroshidai was part of the network of beacons that linked Takeda territory in their homeland of Kai with their conquests in Shinano. Gōdo-noroshidai stood between the noroshidai of Wada-noroshidai to the north and Maenoyama-noroshidai to the south, the latter of which I visited next. The fort was also used to guard the Gōdo Pass. The village of Gōdo is directly below.
