Sunpu-jô was among Tokugawa Ieyasu's main bases of operations prior to his establishing himself in Edo. He also retired to Sunpu after passing the shogunate to his son, Tokugawa Hidetada.

In 1610, when Ieyasu met with Shimazu Iehisa and prisoner of war King Shô Nei of Ryûkyû at Sunpu, the castle featured three concentric rings of moats, and a five-story (seven floors) main keep tower (tenshu) decorated in gold, silver, tin, and bronze.[1]
