During Nobunaga's 1582 campaign to destroy the Takeda clan, his forces swept through Shinano including the Matsumoto area. The former Takeda lands came under Oda control, but Nobunaga's death at Honnoji the same year upended the situation. The present Matsumoto Castle keep was later built by the Ishikawa clan, who entered the domain in the Keicho era.

The predecessor of Matsumoto Castle, Fukashi Castle, was developed by Shingen around 1550 as a base for controlling Shinano. It served as the center of Takeda authority in the Matsumoto region, from which Shingen launched campaigns into northern Shinano and the Ina Valley. After the fall of the Takeda clan, the Ogasawara clan retook the castle and renamed both castle and town Matsumoto.
