Gifu Castle (岐阜城), formerly known as Inabayama Castle (稲葉山城),[1] is a Japanese castle in the city of Gifu, Japan. In the Sengoku period, Inabayama Castle was a stronghold for the Saitō clan that ruled over the Mino Province. Oda Nobunaga, warring against clan leader Saitō Tatsuoki, managed to weaken the clan through both diplomacy and bribing the Saitō generals, enough to allow for a siege and subsequent conquest of the castle in 1567, which he renamed Gifu Castle.[1] Having established himself in Gifu, Oda Nobunaga received many guests at the castle, including the Jesuit historian Luís Fróis[2] and then-claimant to the position of shōgun, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who gave Nobunaga a pretext to march on Kyoto in 1568.[1]
