In the Sengoku period, Kumagai clan moved their main bastion from Isegatsubo Castle to the castle since Isegatsubo Castle was considered unsuitable to withstanding a siege, and used the castle until Mōri clan moved to Suō Province.[2][3][4]
Its ruins have been protected as a Prefectural Historic Sites as one of the Remains of Kumagai Clan Ruins, combining both Isegatsubo Castle and Kumagai clan's fortified residence Doi-Yashiki.[3]
