Ueda Castle
Ueda Castle was built by Sanada Masayuki in 1583 and is an impregnable castle that repelled the Tokugawa army twice, in the First and Second Battles of Ueda.
There are many sights that remind you of the castle's past, such as the South Tower, North Tower, East Tiger's Gate Tower, Sanada stones, moats, and earthworks, and the towers and stone walls seen from the Amagafuchi side, which was once the Chikuma River, are also a popular spot. You can also experience the changing of the seasons with cherry blossoms, new greenery, and autumn leaves.
It also attracted attention as the model for the gate of the heroine's family mansion in the 2009 film "Summer Wars."
