Gunma Pref. Tonegunminakamimachi Shimodu

"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."

小田原征伐のきっかけとなった小城。沼田城から目と鼻の先に敵の小城がポツンとあれば攻めたくもなります。そうなるように真田昌幸が秀吉を唆して残した城なのでしょう。城の縄張りが復元されていて戦国時代の戦うための城がどういうものかがわかります。桜もきれいで、超穴場花見スポットです。

Gunma Pref. Numatashi Nishikurauchimachi 594

This castle built on top of a cliff along the upper reaches of the Tone River has been selected as one of the Top 100 Castles in Japan. Fierce battles were waged by the Uesugi and Takeda clans for this strategic point in North Kanto. After the downfall of the Numata clan, the Sanada and Honda clans occupied the castle in succession. A five-story keep was built during the rule of the Sanada clan but was later reduced. Currently a portion of the honmaru remains, with Numata Park, an elementary school, and a high school on the surrounding grounds.

Gunma Areas

Gunma prefecture is synonymous with onsen. Natural hot spring water sources throughout the prefecture have given rise to a series of small onsen towns, each set among luscious mountains. At Kusatsu, Ikaho, and Minakami, traditional indoor and outdoor bathing experiences are served hand in hand with irresistible onsen-themed food, including steam-cooked eggs and custard pudding.
