Haneji Clan and others ruled the area in honor of Hokuzan, but were destroyed by the King-Shōhashi, and were later attacked by the Satsuma army and were destroyed.
It is estimated that Shō Clan were actively trading with China so that many Chinese ceramics have been unearthed from Honmaru.
The folding screen-shaped stone wall with the undulating waves called the "hundred bends" is beautiful and has no blind spots. It is estimate that Ōsumi, according to lore, is a training ground for soldiers.
The god of fire deeply connected to the Ryūkyū royal family is enshrined, thought to have been installed around 1665.
