Gifu Castle is a castle located in the city of Gifu, in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It is also known as Inabayama Castle and was built on top of Mount Kinka, which overlooks the city.
The castle was originally constructed in 1201 by the lord of the local region, Nikaido Yukimitsu. Over the centuries, the castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times due to war and natural disasters. The current castle tower was reconstructed in 1956, and the surrounding castle grounds have been turned into a public park.

The castle tower itself contains a museum with exhibits on the history and culture of the castle and its surrounding region. Gifu Castle is also famous for its cherry blossoms, which bloom in spring and attract many visitors.
