Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate Government (1603-1868), moved here from Edo (Tokyo) after he passed the Shogun position to his son Hidetada (the 2nd Edo Shogun). He lived in Sunpu Castle and ruled the country from Sunpu.
The castle turned to a public park in the 20th century.
The stone walls and the moats still remain. Some buildings were rebuilt after the 1980s.
There were willow trees around the moats. Azalea and other trees had flowers. The green was fresh and beautiful.
