The Okada family were in the beginning the lords of the castle. In the 16th century the Yamaguchi family succeeded them and held the castle for generations until it was abandoned by Yamaguchi Shigemasa, who moved in 1588.There was the Honmaru enceinte, along with the Ninomaru and Sannomaru. Connected to the complex was the Hoshimiya Shrine (星宮社), which also served as a lighthouse for the nearby sea.Today former parts of the castle are bisected by the Meitetsu railroad while another part houses the Kasadera school.A memorial stele out of stone marks the place where the castle used to stand. The area is served by the Moto Hoshizaki Station.
