Nobeoka Castle (延岡城, Nobeoka-jō) is the remains of a castle structure in Nobeoka, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.[1][2][3]

After the battle of Sekigahara, Takahashi Mototane started building the castle.[4] In 1655, Arima clan fortified the castle and built a 3 level main keep. However, it was burnt down by a fire in 1683 and was never rebuilt.[4]

The castle is now only ruins, just some remnants of water moats and stone walls. Nobeoka castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.[5]
