Gifu Castle
Description
Gifu Castle (岐阜城 Gifu-jō) is a castle located in the city of Gifu, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Along with Mount Kinka and the Nagara River, it is one of the main symbols of the city.
Gifu Castle was first built by the Nikaidō clan between 1201 and 1204 during the Kamakura Period.
Originally called Inabayama Castle (稲葉山城 Inabayama-jō), Gifu Castle has gone through a great number of repairs over the course of several generations. Even though it was famous as a physically powerful castle, it was once taken over by a mere sixteen men.
How to get there
Gifu Castle is located north east of JR Gifu Station. Take a bus from JR Gifu Station and alight at the Gifukoen-mae stop. The bus fare is 210 yen for adults; 100 yen for children. From Gifu Koen it is a 50-60 minute hike to the top of the mountain or take the Mount Kinka Ropeway.
