Inuyama Castle
Historic Site
Castle structure: Flatland-mountain castle
Main tower structure: Lookout-tower-style with three tiers, four floors, and two underground levels (rebuilt in 1620)
Year of construction: Kinoshita Castle (the castle that existed in this location prior to Inuyama Castle) 1469, Inuyama Castle 1537
Designation: National treasure
Main castle lords: Oda clan, Ikeda clan, Nakagawa clan, Kato clan, Takeda clan, Miwa clan, Ishikawa clan, Ogasawara clan, and Naruse clan
Comment: Because, when seen from the Kiso River, the castle bears a close resemblance to the appearance of Baidicheng (Hakuteijo in Japanese) viewed from the Yangtze River in China, it has been given the nickname Hakuteijo.
