Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Ueda through its castle park and an old highway street, with traces of different periods along the way.

This guide covers places within Ueda, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Moat, cherry blossoms and turret at Ueda Castle in April 200701

A first-visit stop

Ueda Castle Park

上田城跡公園

Founded by Sanada Masayuki in 1583, the castle later underwent destruction and rebuilding. The surviving structures do not all date from its foundation. This April 2007 photograph shows the moat, cherry blossoms and a turret. Check current closures separately for the park, turrets and museum.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Yanagimachi

北国街道柳町

Walk past buildings and shopfronts along the former Hokkoku highway. The April 2019 photograph does not confirm which shops operate today. Keep entrances and residential access clear, and ask before taking photographs inside.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check directions

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
