Sanada-jinja Shrine

4.0

Sanada-jinja Shrine has the lords of Ueda Castle—Sanada, Sengoku, and Matsudaira—as its primary enshrined deities. After the Meiji Restoration, it was reclaimed by the government, sold to a private owner, and built on remains of Ueda Castle. You can see the large Sanada well and a big helmet decorated with a Cervus horn said to have been worn by Yukimura Sanada himself. It’s a 15-minute walk from JR Ueda Station, or about 15 minutes from the Ueda Sugadaira Interchange on the Nagano Expressway.

Review

Quite interesting

This is inside the Ueda Castle and features a number of buildings. It seems to get a bit of use with quite a few requests left for action by the gods. There is a good view out from the castle walls...
真田神社

上田城内にある神社です。真田氏を祀っているらしくあちこちに六文銭が見受けられます。幕末の上田藩主松平氏は開国派でしたし、上田藩士で薩摩の中村半次郎に暗殺された赤松小三郎も参拝したのでしょうか。
真田氏の菩提寺

上田城内の城門から奥に歩いて行くと真田神社がります。歴代の真田氏の菩提寺であり、真田氏の旗頭の六文銭の旗が飾られていました。近くには城外へと続くという井戸もあります。
