Toki clan
During the Nanboku-chō period, Toki Yoritō served as the "shugo" of Mino Province. In 1339, he moved his base from the present-day city of Toki to Nagamori Castle. The castle only remained in the hands of the Toki clan for a short time, however, as Toki Yoriyasu built the more spacious Kawate Castle nearby to serve as the new base of operations.
