Ogawa Castle located near the Chita Peninsula, was a stronghold for the Mizuno family. This hilltop castle was built by Mizuno Sadamori between 1469-87, it housed several Mizuno warlords (Mizuno Tadamasa and Mizuno Nobumoto. It was also the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu's mother Odai no Kata (1528-1602). Ogawa Castle played a role in the Battle of Muraki (1554). At the time of the battle, Mizuno Nobumoto was the lord of the castle. Nobunaga arrived there to make battle plans. During the Battle of Muraki, Mizuno Nobumoto attacked the east side of Muraki, Nobunaga in charge of the south side, and Oda Nobumitsu the west side. Nobunaga's use of firearms was the turning point at the Battle of Muraki. Ogawa Castle was abandoned in 1606.
