The town of Obi flourished as the castle town of Lord Ito for the 280 years from 1588 to the early Meiji period. The town was protected on three sides by the Sakatani river 酒谷川.
The castle and town were completely refurbished in the late 1970s. Currently, they are authentically reflective of a castle town dating from the Edo period. Throughout Japan, there are many towns nicknamed “Little Kyoto” for their old-fashioned streets and nostalgic feeling. Kyushu’s very own Little Kyoto is Obi.
The Obi Castle Historical Museum exhibits valuable artefacts of the Ito family. There are many swords and armor from the Warring States period. Matsuo no Maru is a replica of a lord's residence during the early Edo period built in 1979. Yoshokan is the home of the Ito Clan's head, built in 1869.
