Naoe Kanetsugu
Yoita Domain began as a 10,000 "koku" holding created in 1634 for Makino Yasunari (1617–1658), a younger son of Makino Tadanari, 1st "daimyō" of Nagaoka Domain. The site of Yoita Jin'ya was the former residence of Uesugi Kagekatsu's senior retainer. Naoe Kanetsugu. The Makino ruled for three generations, and were transferred to Komoro Domain in Shinano Province in 1689. The territory reverted for a brief period to "tenryō" status from 1689-1705.
