Azuchi Castle (安土城) was a Japanese castle in Ōmi whose ruins are located in what is now Ōmihachiman's Azuchi neighborhood. During the Sengoku period, the castle was one of the principle stronghold of Oda Nobunaga and his family household until his assassination in 1582.[1] Hashiba Hideyoshi and Nobunaga's son Nobutada had residences in the castle.[2]
In 1582, the ronin Yasuke returned to Azuchi a few days after Nobunaga's death to meet with Hideyoshi's wife Nene. He arrived at her residence to find that she and her husband had became a target of assassination by Akechi Mitsuhide, the general who betrayed Nobunaga.[3]
