Otaki Castle (大多喜城)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This castle rises at the centre of Otaki, also known as the Little Edo of Boso, and the current keep has been laid out as a museum. Castle-town streetscapes remain in the surrounding area, on a scale that lets you stroll while touching the history. Its location lets you get a little exercise and build anticipation before water play in the valley. From the keep you can look out over the townscape of Otaki, which also suits family commemorative photos.

Tips

Touring the interior of the keep requires a separate admission fee. Strolling the castle town alone is free, so you can choose how to spend your time depending on your schedule. The sun is strong in summer, so do not forget a hat and something to drink.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The morning before the sun gets strong is the most comfortable
