Bansho was set on the border of a country or a strategic point for sea and land as a security office. Government officers who had to guard the region or check the imported luggage gathered here.

The family mark of Hagi Mori is has marked on the roof tiles.

This Kamigaseki Bansho was first set in Nagashima Shidai in 1632. However, considering the convenience of transportations and Korean communicating officers' stay, it was rebuilt in Kamigaseki in 1771.

The renovation was completed in 1996.
