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.

I visited this ruin as part of a tour of noroshidai in the area. There was a very light snowfall.
