Inabayama Castle, later Gifu Castle, is a castle initially created by Saitou Dousan to be nearly impenetrable as a defensive position. It is easily defended and very difficult to attack.
Details[]
Because the castle is located on a mountain it has a strong natural defence, several towns surrounding it can be transformed into military positions immediately due to the system Dousan put into place, making it impossible to attack the castle from all sides and yet very easy to protect it as well. The mountain passes are also ideal for ambushes and tactics of the sort, it's known that a swamp is located somewhere nearby.
The mountain it stands on is called Mount Inaba
