The predecessor of Sunpu Castle was the Imagawa mansion, original headquarters of the Imagawa clan. Yoshimoto ruled here as the greatest daimyo of the Tokai region, holding the young Takechiyo (Ieyasu) as a hostage in Sunpu. After Yoshimoto's death at Okehazama in 1560, Imagawa power collapsed and Sunpu eventually became Ieyasu's base.

Takeda Shingen launched his invasion of Suruga in 1568, driving out Imagawa Ujizane and occupying Sunpu. Suruga then came under Takeda control, incorporated into Shingen's domain. After Shingen's death, Ieyasu recaptured it and later developed it into a major castle.
