Castle Historic Walking Area

Head up to Ueda Castle, a historic fort known for its impressively designed defenses.

Built in the second half of the 16th century as the home of the Sanada clan, the castle twice repelled attacks from the Tokugawa clan before the century was out. The second time around, only 2,500 warriors reportedly defended the stronghold against a force of 38,000. Admire the citadel's clever architectural design, with its deep moat and imposing stone base. While not much of the castle still stands, the site's history and surrounding scenery makes it well worth the visit.

  行った日は水曜日。よく調べずに行きましたので、櫓に上れず。博物館もお休み。 せっかく来たのに、あら残念！ 櫓の写真撮って、お堀一周して、休憩して。 敷地内に真田神社があります。 駐車場は、北の駐車場利用が良いですよ。 私たちは南側の駐車場を利用したので、西櫓脇の階段を登りました。 これが、かなりシンドイ。 でも、こっちからは、石垣は堪能出来ます。  more »

  The day i went was Wednesday. I went without looking into it, so I couldn't go up to the tower. The museum is also closed. I'm sorry to come here! Take a picture of the tower, go around the moat, and take a rest. There is Manada Shrine on site. Parking is good in the north. We used the parking lot on the south side, so we climbed the stairs beside the west tower. This is pretty thin. But from here, you can enjoy the stone wall.

  鉄砲や矢を放つ櫓の生々しい様子が観察でき、また展示物も豊富、飽きさせません。別館も合わせてみると、上田の戦国時代から戦前までの時代を追うことか出来、大変楽しめます。ちなみに共通券は大人500円、小中学生は150円ですので、真田丸を熱心に見ていた小中学生にはかなりお得に楽しめるのではないでしょうか？

  You can observe the fresh state of the tower that shoots guns and arrows, and the exhibits are abundant and do not get tired. If you put together the annex, you can follow the era from the sengoku period of Ueda to the pre-war era, you can enjoy very much. By the way, the common ticket is 500 yen for adults and 150 yen for elementary and junior high school students, so i think elementary and junior high school students who were eager to watch Satadamaru can enjoy a lot of money.

  朝から出掛け、ゆっくり桜を見ながらお堀を回り満足です！今が最高の時期です。出店も多く雰囲気を盛り上げて楽しいですね。 ゴミは各自で持ち帰ることになっていて、お城の中はキレイでした。

  I went out in the morning and was satisfied to go around the moat while watching cherry blossoms slowly! This is the best time. It's fun to have a lot of openings and atmosphere. The garbage was supposed to be taken home by oneself, and the inside of the castle was beautiful.
