[Castle name]
Kano Castle
a castle built after demolition of Gifu Castle after the battle of Sekigahara, occupied by Nobumasa Okuhira
[Description]
Kano Castle was built after Hidenobu Oda surrendered Gifu Castle prior to the battle of Sekigahara. Ieyasu Tokugawa wanted to preserve the resources of Mino, therefore placed only ministers with little power.
Following this trend, Gifu Castle was demolished; it’s remaining was used to build Kano Castle. The first person to rule this area was Ieyasu Tokugawa’s son, Nobumasa Okuhira.
Okubo clan, Toda clan, Ando clan took control of the castle, but Nagai clan was the last clan before Meiji Restoration. Today, only some parts of stone walls and moats can be seen in Kanou Park today.
