In 1928 (Showa 3), Ryohei Murayama, who was born in Tamaru, received nine cho and nine tan of state-owned land from the Imperial Forestry Bureau and donated it to Tamaru Town as Shiroyama Park. In 1871 (Meiji 4) the castle's buildings were dismantled and disposed of; stone walls, moats and some buildings remain today (the town).
