The Obi district 飫肥, in the center of Nichinan 日南市 city, used to be a small castle town nicknamed 'Little Kyoto'.
Obi Castle 飫肥城. The main gate of the castle was restored with 100-year-old Obi cedar in 1978. Within the castle, the samurai’s mansion, the storehouse, and the white-walled merchant building still remain.
You will often find yourself alone, feeling faintly contrite at having so much space in a country where tourists are accustomed to being shoehorned into such places.
Obi is quite unaffected by mainstream tourism.
There can be very few places of historical or cultural interest in Japan that remain positively underexploited for their tourist potential.
Regarded by many as the cradle of Japanese civilization, Miyazaki prefecture is a wonderful place full of historically significant sites. One of the most beautiful and picturesque of these is Obi town, in Nichinan city.
