In the 15th century, there was a castle called Busanjinseong from the Joseon Dynasty that was built to defend Busanpo from the invasion of Japanese pirates. However, on April 1592, 4, it fell to Konishi Yukinaga and Mune Yoshitomo, members of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's first army to land at Busanpo and dispatch troops to Korea. Mori Terumoto and Mori Hidemoto then built a new castle on this plateau over a period of about five months from March to August 13.
From the early stages of the war until Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death in 1598, when he retreated to Japan, it was used as a base castle in Busan, where war supplies were sent from Tsushima, Japan.
In addition, about 1 km to the east on the sea side, there is a branch castle of Busanpo Japanese Castle.Jaseongdae ParkIt is said that there used to be a small Japanese castle on Kageshima Island in front, but since it is now part of the city, the site cannot be seen.

The main castle at the top of the mountain has been developed into Koshikiyama Sports Park, and includes a small three-story replica castle tower.
An old apartment building is built on top of the stone wall.
