Kiyosu Castle is in the city of Kiyosu, near Nagoya. It was built in 1394 by the head of the Shiga clan, but in the Sengoku period was taken over by Oda Nobunaga. It was from this castle that Oda launched his conqest of Japan. Unlike Azuchi Castle, this was intended to be primarily a military structure. It was dismantled in the Tokugawa Period and parts were moved to Nagoya Castle. It was reconstructed in 1989 to celebrate the city's centennial.
