Sanada clan
Following the Meiji restoration and the abolition of the han system, the castle was dismantled, leaving only the stone ramparts and one "yagura". The site was made into a public park, with two Shinto shrines (one dedicated to the Sanada clan, and the other to the war dead), and a local history museum. In 1949, two "yagura" were reconstructed, and in the 1990s one of the gates was rebuilt.
