    Nagano Ueda-shi Ote 1-4-32
    The site of a former feudal lord's residence located in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. Sanada Nobuyuki, eldest son of Sanada Masayuki, originally began living here after the Battle of Sekigahara; today, the Ueda Senior High School building stands on the grounds. When the school was built, the original front gate and earthen walls extending off of it as well as the moat were left intact; still extant today, they have collectively been designated an Important Cultural Property by Ueda City. Note that visitors may only view the exterior; the interior is not open to the general public. Cherry trees and azaleas bloom near the front gate from spring to early summer.

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
