This battle was fought in the area along the Chikuma-gawa River in the south of Zenkoji-daira, including Kawanakajima, and therefore, it is known that powerful local clans against the Takeda clan controlled most of Zenkoji-daira until that time.
この戦いは川中島を含む善光寺平より南の千曲川沿いで行われており、善光寺平の大半をこの時期まで反武田方の諸豪族が掌握していたことが判る。
