府内城
Funai Castle, also called Oita Castle, was completed in 1602. At that time, it had a 4-story keep, but wars and fires destroyed the keep and much of the castle grounds. Only two structures dating back to the Edo Period remain, the Shumon Turret dating back to 1859, and the Hitojichi Turret which dates back to 1861. Other structures, such as the Otemon Gate and surrounding walls, are modern reconstructions. The keep was never rebuilt.There are some cherry trees in the park surrounding the castle.
