Jishu sect temple founded by Sue Hiromasa in the Nambokucho period.

Although it was a temple, it also held political and military function as a castle in this era. Since then the fieldworks are thought to have remained in this site.

A rare and the only example of the prefectural temple-castle in the middle ages.
