    "A seven minute drive by car from Jomo-Kogen Station on the JR Joetsu Shinkansen line. The lord Sanada Masayuki built the castle that once stood here in 1579 at the conjunction between the Tone and Akaya Rivers. The ruins were designated a Historic Site by Gunma Prefecture in 1949. After the broadcast of the popular television drama ""Sanada Maru"" on NHK, a portion of the ruins were restored in 2015 and in 2017 the castle was selected in a second edition to a list of Japan’s top 100 castles. The trees and stone monuments in the area convey the weight of its history."
