Inuyama Castle was built during the Muromachi shogunate period. It is located on a hill next to Kiso River. It is also called Baidi Castle.

The location, from the Warring States period, was the key point to seize the world, and the city owner changed frequently. During the Battle of Komaki • Nagakute (1584), Toyotomi Hideyoshi led an army of 120,000 people into the city and had a confrontation with Tokugawa Ieyasu who used Komaki Mountain Castle as his position.

However, half of it was damaged by the Noo Earthquake in Meiji 24 (1891), and the castle was once again owned by the Naruse family under the condition of restoration.
