Usuki Castle Ruins

Usuki Castle Ruins (臼杵城跡), located on the eastern side of the Samurai district, offer a glimpse into the town's rich past. Today, the area is a peaceful neighborhood park that occupies the former castle grounds. Though much of the original castle, including the main keep, has been destroyed over time, the site still holds historical charm.

Visitors can see the remaining structures, such as a turret and a gate, which stand at the entrance to the park. These ruins provide an opportunity to reflect on the history of Usuki, once home to a powerful feudal lord, offering a picturesque setting for those wanting to explore the past. The surrounding park adds to the tranquil atmosphere, making it a relaxing stop.
