Its predecessor was Tsuruyama Castle built by Tadamasa Yamana in 1441, which was abandoned during the Onin and Bunmei Wars. Later, Tadamasa Mori, the younger brother of Ranmaru Mori, known as a close aide of Oda Nobunaga, changed the castle’s name from "Tsuruyama" to "Tsuyama" and began to construct it. The magnificent castle was completed in 1604 after 13 years of work and it is one of the three great Hirayama castles in Japan.
