Shinichi Matsudaira of the Fujii Matsudaira family established his domain with 35,000 koku. After that, after passing through the Nishio family and the Kuchiki family, Kazunao Tsuchiya, an old man, joined the family. Although it was temporarily replaced by the Okochi Matsudaira family, it was re-held by the Tsuchiya family, an old vassal of the Takeda family. It remained in power until the end of the Edo period. It also has deep connections with the Mito clan.
