Inabayama Castle

Inabayama was named Gifu after Nobunaga Oda took it in 1567. The castle was owned by the Dosan Saito during the 1550s, but his son Yoshitatsu Saito had rebel against his father.

Samurai Warriors
In Mitsuhide Akechi's first stage in Samurai Warriors he starts by defending the castle. The Saito leader is Yoshitatsu Saito. At first you start by defending the castle by defeating two Oda retainers. In the mean time Nobunaga tries to steal the Saito's lumber and you have to defeat the officer who is stealing the lumber. When the officer is defeated or is successfully stolen the lumber a cutscene appears that Hideyoshi Hashiba has built a castle at Sunomata. Than you will get an objective to take Sunomata. Once the castle is taken Noh will approach Mitsuhide till she is defeated. Once Noh is defeated the Saito retainer Hanbei Takenaka betrays the Saito and attacks the Saito main camp.

In Kenshin Uesugi's story mode the castle name is Gifu instead of Inabayama. If the player is slow to take the castle it will unlock the lower ending where Kenshin faces Shingen Takeda at Anegawa but if the player quickly takes the castle it will unlock the uper ending where he Kenshin faces Shingen at Kawanakajima.

In Samurai Warriors 2 Inabayama is cut but returns in the the third sequel.
