It was built at the order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on "Odawara Conqest" in 1590, at the summit of Mt. Kasagake, located about 3 km southwest of Odawara Castle.
Ishigakiyama Castle, which was the headquarters of the Toyotomi Allied Forces, not only gathered the powerful daimyō of the nation under Hideyoshi , but even during the war, a messenger reception from the Imperial family and a tea room were made. It was also a stage to inform the power of the world. As a remarkable anecdote, Date Masamune , the young Ōshu conqueror at that time, who had been angry because he had repeatedly received orders from Hideyoshi for a second time to appear in this place, appeared in the first meeting with burial clothes. This behavior of Masamune, who had just saved his life by the intercession of Hideyashi's closest servant Tokugawa Ieyasu, is still passed down, and Masamune would swear his lifelong loyalty to the Tokugawa shogunate. On the other hand, Ieyasu also received a ruthless recommendation from Hideyoshi at this time in Ishigakiyama Castle to leave the local Mikawa and Suruga region instead of giving the Kantō territory.

The family crest was originally created from the pattern that the emperor and the royal family put on the kimono, and the pattern was made into a fixed pattern, and the one attached to his own oxcart is said to be the beginning of the family crest. The warlords drew large crests on the flag-fingers, used to distinguish enemy views on the battlefield, and used by the generals to determine which warlords were active and how much.
