Ueda Castle

Ueda Castle

Ueda Castle, located in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, is a historic castle built by Sanada Masayuki. It gained fame for repelling the Tokugawa forces during the First and Second Battles of Ueda in 1583, earning the nickname "impenetrable." Today, it is maintained as Ueda Castle Ruins Park, where visitors can admire its moats, stone walls, and Sanada stones. Within the park, there are the Sanada Shrine and the Ueda City Museum, and throughout the year, visitors can enjoy seasonal events such as the Ueda Castle Thousand Cherry Blossom Festival in spring, the Ueda Castle Autumn Leaves Festival in fall, and the Ueda Sanada Festival celebrating the 400th anniversary of the castle's construction.
