Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore the castle town of Obi in Nichinan, Miyazaki. The photograph shows Obi Castle’s main gate in 2019. This guide covers two Obi stops, separately from former Nangō Town, which has its own app region.

This guide covers places within Nichinan, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
