History

The first construction of Kanō Castle began in 1445 by Saitō Toshinaga, who was a vassal of the Toki Clan. However, the castle was not completed until 1538. In 1601, when Gifu Castle was dismantled, Kanō Castle became the area's main castle and Gifu Castle's main citadel became Kanō Castle's own three-story Ni-no-maru."Gifu City Walking Map".

In 1603, Okudaira Nobumasa moved into the castle and it became the Okudaira family's residence. Kanō Tenman-gū, which was built simultaneously with the castle, was a private place of worship for the family. Because it was located in a popular post town, Kanō-juku, [http://www.city.gifu.gifu.jp/kankou/miru_14.html Nakasendo to Shukuba-machi] . ja icon Gifu City Hall. Accessed September 9, 2007.] it eventually became so that commoners could worship there, too.
