It is also known as Suwa no Ukishiro, Shimazaki Castle, and Suwa Takashima Castle. The castle is a flat castle with a linked wall structure. It was once a water castle jutting out into Lake Suwa and was called "Suwa no Ukishiro," but when the lake was reclaimed at the beginning of the Edo period, the water castle appearance was lost. However, since it was nicknamed "Floating Castle," it is counted as one of Japan's three great lake castles. The Hineno clan built eight turrets, six gates, a three-story castle tower, and other structures all made of stone walls, giving it the appearance of a modern castle, but because the ground was soft, the most advanced technology of the time was used, such as building rafts of wood and piling stones on top of them. Even so, the stone walls were easily damaged and frequent repair work was required. Because the castle was built in the short period of seven years, it appears that great strain was placed on the construction, and local legends remain, such as "they suffered from harsh labor" and "to secure stone materials, all of the stone from Kaneko Castle was taken, and gravestones and stone Buddha statues were also used (repurposed stones)."
