Ueda Castle was built in 1583 (Tensho 11) by the brilliant general Sanada Masayuki. It repelled the massive Tokugawa army in both the First and Second Battles, and among the many castles, there is no other example of a castle that has seen actual combat twice and achieved such results. This castle is filled with historical romance, spanning over 400 years, woven through the Sanada clan, the Sengoku clan, and the Matsudaira clan. The following three items are provided: 1.
