Obi Domain Heritage: Armor and Weapons Preview the Castle Town
About this spot
A museum within Obi Castle grounds displaying historical materials related to the Obi domain. The collection includes armor, swords, weapons, clothing, and ancient documents left by the clan lord Itō family and their retainers, evoking the era when this small mountain castle town flourished as the center of domain governance. The museum's building itself has the atmosphere of a traditional castle town structure.

An ideal primer for your castle town exploration.
