Ohmizo Castle

There is only the stone base of the castle keep left here. Most of the other structures are long gone. You can see some ishigaki which lined some of the canals. The castle ruin is only 5 minutes walk from JR Omitakashima Station.

History

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 decommissioned under “One castle per domain” edict and many stones and parts were used to build Minakuchi Okayama Castle. In 1619, Ohmizo Jin'ya was established in the Sannomaru Bailey and any remaining remnants of Ohmizo Castle were developed over but for some reason the stone foundation of the main keep survived to today.

Field Notes

There is only the stone base of the castle keep left here. Most of the other structures are long gone. You can see some ishigaki which lined some of the canals. The castle ruin is only 5 minutes walk from JR Omitakashima Station.
