was a domain of the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan during the Edo period from 1600 to 1871.
The Takatà  Domain was based at Takatà  Castle in Shinano Province, in the modern city of Ina, located in the Chà «bu region of the island of Honshu. The Takatà  Domain was ruled by the fudai daimyà  of the Hoshina clan from 1600 to 1636, the Torii clan from 1636 to 1689, and the Naità  clan from 1691 to 1871, with a Kokudaka value of 33,000 koku. The Takatà  Domain was dissolved in the abolition of the han system in 1871 by the Meiji government and its territory was absorbed into Nagano Prefecture.
The territory around Takatà  was ruled during the Sengoku period by Takatà  Yoritsugu (d. 1552). After his castle fell to Takeda Shingen in the Siege of Takatà  in 1545, it was given over to one of Shingen's sons, Nishina Morinobu. Takatà  then came under the control of Hoshina Masatoshi, a retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu, following the defeat and subsequent destruction of the Takeda clan following the second Siege of Takatà  in 1582.
Following the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, and the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603, Hoshina Masamitsu, the grandson of Masatoshi, became the first Edo period daimyà  of Takatà Â, and the domain was officially ranked at a kokudaka of 25,000 koku. Masamitsu raised an illegitimate son of shà Âgun Tokugawa Hidetada as his own, under the name Hoshina Masayuki, and was rewarded with a 5,000 koku increase for his domain in 1618. Following Hidetada's death in 1632, Masayuki was transferred to Yamagata Domain in Dewa Province in 1636, with an income of 200,000 koku.
Torii Tadaharu, the third son of Torii Tadamasa of Yamagata Domain, replaced him as lord of Takatà Â, with an income of 32,000 koku. The next lord, Torii Tadanori, however, died while under house arrest due to a scandal at Edo in 1689, leaving the clan's succession in the hands of the shogunate. Tadanori's successor in the family, Torii Tadahide, was demoted to a 10,000 koku holding, Shimomura Domain in Noto Province. As a result, Takatà  briefly became tenryà  administered directly by the shogunate until 1691, when Naità  Kiyokazu was reassigned from Tondabayashi Domain in Settsu Province to Takatà Â. The domain began to have financial troubles beginning under the following lord, Naità  Yorinori, who made efforts at reforms and innovations to solve the problems. The Ejima-Ikushima affair occurred around the same time, resulting in the shogunal consort named Ejima, banished from Edo, being left in the custody of Takatà Â.
The seventh Naità  lord of Takatà Â, Naità  Yoriyasu, oversaw numerous development projects, including a trading market, a mulberry plantation operated directly by the domain, educational institutions and land intensification projects. These changes, however, brought numerous peasant revolts, and instability to the realm.
Towards the Bakumatsu period, the final daimyà Â, Naità  Yorinao, established a han school and took part in the campaigns by the shogunate against Chà Âshà « Domain. During the 1868 Boshin War, however, Takatà  sided with the newly founded Meiji government army against the last supporters of the shogunate and sent forces to fight in the Battle of Hokuetsu and the Battle of Aizu{
Naità  Yorinao remained governor of Takatà  when the lands were formally handed over to the Emperor. In 1871, the domains were abolished, and Takatà  became "Takatà  Prefecture", only to be subsumed into Tsukama Prefecture and, eventually, into Nagano Prefecture, which remains today.
As with most domains in the han system, Takatà  Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka, based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.

Although his domain had a nominal kokudaka of 39,000 koku, some 6000 koku was actually tenryà  lands with revenues owed to the shogunate and there was little room for the development of new rice lands.
