Ueda is a small pretty city where history and traditional landscape of the middle ages is still alive in and has become better known across the country because of the popular “Sanada Maru” television drama series broadcast in 2016 about a samurai warlord clan connected to Ueda.

Ueda Catsle Park
Ueda catsle was build in 1583 by Sanada clan, replaced by Sengoku clan in 1622, and by Matsudaira clan in 1706.
It was dismantled, leaving only the stone ramparts and one yagura around 1868 with the end of the Edo period, the samurai
ara and the site was made into a public park. The two yagura shown on the photo above were rebuilt in 1990s.
Only one yagura was remained
