Oda Nobunaga and Gifu

#Gifu #GifuCastle Gifu is not the birthplace of Oda Nobunaga, but it is considered one of the places with which he has a connection. Gifu Castle, located at the top of Mount Kinka, is a castle that Nobunaga struggled to capture and took many years to conquer. Because the castle is at the top of a mountain, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Nagara River and other areas from the castle tower. There is also a golden bronze statue of Oda Nobunaga in the square in front of Gifu Station, which shows how much the city has treasured him. By the way, and this is a complete aside, it was Oda Nobunaga who named the city "Gifu." As a result, Inabayama Castle was renamed Gifu Castle and has remained that way to this day. #HistoricSites
