Our guide
Obi Castle was first completed in 1588 and was the centre of the old Obi Domain, in what is now Miyazaki Prefecture. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
The castle town around it, Obi Castle Town, is about 300 m away, and Obi Station on the Nichinan Line about 1.1 km in a straight line. We have not checked opening hours or fees.
