Oda Nobunaga ordered his nephew, Oda Nobuzumi to construct a castle at Takashima to control the western shores of Lake Biwa. The castle was designed by Akechi Mitsuhide. It also functioned as an important port on Lake Biwa. After the Battle of Tennosan in 1582 with the demise of Akechi Mitsuhide, Oda Nobuzumi’s loyalty was called into question, and he was killed by Niwa Nagahide’s troops. After that, Toyotomi Hideyoshi installed one of his generals, Kyougoku Takatsugu as the lord of Oomizo Castle. Takatsugu was also married to Hatsu, one of Asai Nagamasa’s daughters. The castle was downsized to a jinya after the “One castle, one feudal domain” edict.
