History

Goi Domain was created on November 28, 1781, when Arima Ujiyoshi, the ''daimyō'' of Nishijo Domain in Ise Province relocated his ''jin'ya'' from Ise to Kazusa. He died two years later, at the age of 23, and his successors likewise had unusually short lifespans. His son Ujiyasu died at the age of 29, successor Hiroyasu at age 35 and son Ujisada at age 24. The 5th ''daimyō'' of Goi Domain, Arima Ujishige, decided to relocate his residence to Fukiage Domain in
