Gifu Castle is located in Gifu City Gifu prefecture in Central Japan, it was formerly ruled by one of Japan's unifier Oda Nobonaga. It is on top of a mountain approximately 2000 meters. One way of reaching the castle is through cable car or for adventurers you can also hike.

The castle houses weapons, armours ( Samurai Armour) portraits of the Shogun Nobonaga and other memorabilias. You can also experience a 360 degrees view of the whole city. No wonder Nobonaga choose this castle it is an ideal fortress for any rulers.
