Constructed in 1609 by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu, this site served as the administrative center for the local domain. The castle was designed by Ikeda Terumasa and Todo Takatora as a strategic stronghold, though it functioned more as a government hub than a military fortress. While most of the original buildings were dismantled during the Meiji Restoration, the area is now protected as a National Historic Site.
The Great Study (Oshoin) stands as a significant architectural reconstruction within the grounds. Originally completed in 1609 and destroyed by fire in 1944, the building was rebuilt in 2000 based on historical photographs and records. Its large-scale traditional design is noted for its similarity to the Ninomaru Palace at Nijo Castle. The interior now serves as a museum dedicated to the history of the region.
The complex retains its historical layout, including well-preserved moats and stone walls, despite the fact that a main castle tower was never erected. The grounds are open to the public as a park and were listed among Japan's Top 100 Castles in 2006.
