Obi Castle, Japanese castle in Nichinan, Japan
The stone walls and wooden gates of Obi Castle rise above the city of Nichinan, with restored structures displaying traditional Japanese architectural elements.
Built in the early 1600s, Obi Castle served as the headquarters of the Ito clan, who controlled maritime trade routes in southern Kyushu for generations.
The castle grounds contain exhibits of over 220 artifacts, including samurai armor and weapons that belonged to the Ito family during their reign.
The castle museum opens daily from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in Japanese that explain the defensive features and architectural elements.
The castle's main bailey features a 140-year-old cedar forest with a thick carpet of green moss covering the ground beneath the trees.
