Our guide

Mibu Castle in the town of Mibu, southern Tochigi, was at the end of the Edo period the home of a branch of the Torii clan, daimyō of the Mibu Domain. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

Mibu Station on the Tōbu Utsunomiya Line is about 850 m away in a straight line. We have not checked what can be seen on the site today.
