History
A castle was first built here in the 14th century by the Isshiki Clan. The Saji Clan took over the castle following the Ōnin War. In the Sengoku Period Oda Nobunaga’s sister, Ogō, married castellan Saji Kazunari and the castle got the nickname of Miyayamajō (“Princess” Mountain Castle). Whilst Kazunari was her first husband, Lady Ogō later remarried. Her third husband was Tokugawa Hidetada, the second Tokugawa shōgun, and she was also the mother of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shōgun. Before long Ōnojō was abandoned due to the poor quality of water available at the site, and Ōkusajō was built nearby as a replacement. The two-tier three-storey mock yagura was built in 1980.
Field Notes
Ōnojō is a hilltop castle with reconstructed gates and a mock yagura (sentry tower) serving as an observation tower and small museum. Beneath the honmaru (main bailey) is a karabori (dry moat) and dorui (earthen embankment). According to a depiction in the mock tower, there used to be ishigaki (stone walls) at the site, though I could find no such remains.
