Sunomata Castle, also known as Sunomata Ichiya Castle, is a historic fortress located in Ōgaki, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Renowned for its legendary construction, it was reportedly built overnight by Toyotomi Hideyoshi under the command of Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period. This feat of rapid construction was intended to surprise and intimidate rival daimyo. The castle played a strategic role in Nobunaga's campaign to unify Japan.
