Hamamatsu Castle is a hirayama-style Japanese castle replica. Its exact origin is unknown, but a fort was built by Imagawa Sadatsuke of the Enshu Imagawa clan east of the current castle around 1504-1520. In 1570, Tokugawa Ieyasu moved his headquarters to Hamamatsu as the new lord of the land and built a new castle on the fort's site, living there for 17 years. During the Meiji Restoration, some castle parts were destroyed and outer baileys sold. The central part was preserved as a park by the city of Hamamatsu after World War II. In 1958, a three-story concrete donjon with an observatory was built atop the original stone palisade. The donjon houses a museum with armor, Tokugawa clan relics, and a model of the city during the Edo period
