History

There were competing theories about the origins of this castle, whether it was built by the Oyamada or the Asano. In consideration of recent surveys and other Oyamada castles nearby, the Oyamada origins seem to be the more likely. In that case, the castle was built around 1532 by Oyamada Nobuari as a mountain redoubt (詰城) of Yamura Castle across the river. After Ieyasu moved to Kanto, Asano Nagamasa was stationed in Kofu and his family also ruled over Yamura Castle/Katsuyama Castle. The Yamura Domain was established in the Edo Period, but it was placed under direct control of the bakufu in 1690. Katsuyama Castle was abandoned along with Yamura Castle, but Yamura Jin'ya was established near Yamura Castle or in a part of it.
