Funai Castle, also known as Oita Castle, is a historic Japanese castle located in Ōita City, Ōita Prefecture. Constructed in 1587 by the daimyo Otomo Sorin, the castle was strategically positioned at the mouth of the Oita River, allowing it to serve both as a military stronghold and a center of governance. The castle features traditional Japanese architectural elements, including stone walls and moats. Although much of the original structure was destroyed over the centuries, the castle grounds have been partially restored and now include reconstructed turrets and gates.
