A mountain castle built by Takeda Katsuyori, the son of Takeda Shingen. Shingen was said the strongest in the Sengoku period(civil war era).
After captured by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the castle became a base for the battle against the Takeda. Imagawa Ujizane, the former lord of Suruga Province, was once ordered to enter there as a banner for the invasion of Suruga. It is counted among the “Top 100 Castles of Japan”. The castle seals are now on sale, and are now very popular nationwide!
