Gifu Castle, perched atop Mount Kinka in Gifu, Japan, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Originally built in the 13th century, the castle became a significant stronghold during the Sengoku period under the control of Oda Nobunaga, a prominent daimyo who played a crucial role in the unification of Japan. The current structure is a modern reconstruction completed in 1956, housing a museum that showcases samurai armor, weapons, and historical artifacts.
