In the 12th year of the Ōei era (1405) during the Muromachi period, Spwa Yoshi Shige, who held the position of shugo (military governor) of Owari Province, is said to have built the origins of Kiyosu Castle as a separate enclosure to the shugo's residence located in Shimotsu Castle (Inazawa City). In the first year of the Kōji era (1555), Oda Nobunaga entered Kiyosu Castle from Nakanogano Castle and achieved victory in the Battle of Okehazama in the third year of the Eiroku era (1560). This marked the castle as the starting point for his quest to unify the country. During the early Edo period, the castle town's population reached 60,000 to 70,000 people, earning it the title of "a major castle town in the Kantō region." Kiyosu Castle was also praised as one of the "great castles of the nation." The present-day Kiyosu Castle Tenshukaku (main keep) was built in the first year of the Heisei era, allowing visitors to experience the history of Kiyosu through creatively designed exhibits and displays.
