In the game
An anachronism: Hideyoshi’s Osaka Castle was only begun in 1583, so a full castle here in the early game is premature. In the 1570s the site was the temple-fortress of Ishiyama Hongan-ji, besieged by Nobunaga for ten years.
History in brief
Ishiyama Hongan-ji fortress-temple until 1580; Hideyoshi’s castle begun 1583; rebuilt by the Tokugawa from 1620; keep rebuilt in concrete 1931.
The place today
Tokugawa-era stone walls and moats; 1931 keep is a museum.
