Iga Ueno Castle in Iga City, Mie Prefecture Iga City is also known as the birthplace of the ninja. The castle built there is a representative spot in Mie Prefecture, and has been designated as a Mie Prefecture cultural asset. Iga Ueno Castle was built by the master castle builder Todo Takatora. Its stone walls are the tallest or second tallest in Japan. The current castle tower was restored by Kawasaki Masaru in 1935, but the interior of the wooden building retains the atmosphere of the Warring States period. The ceiling on the top floor is decorated with 46 colored paper pieces by Yokoyama Taikan and others, and the view overlooking the entire castle town from there is exceptional! ! #breathtakingview #Japanesescenery #summertrip #summertrip#breathtakingview

Iga Ueno is laid out like a chessboard, and the temples and samurai residences in the city have retained their original appearance. Iga Ueno Castle is known as the "White Phoenix Castle" for its elegant white walls. It is also known for having the highest stone walls in Japan, which is why it was chosen as the filming location for Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood." This is the birthplace of the famous haiku poet Matsuo Basho (1644–1694, who is as famous in Japan as Li Bai is in China). Even though he traveled all over Japan, he always thought of his hometown. To commemorate this great poet, the Haiseiden was built near Ueno Castle in 1942. The building is designed to resemble Basho's traveling attire, with a round roof symbolizing a hat, an octagonal eave symbolizing a cassock, pillars symbolizing a cane, and a plaque symbolizing a face. This is also the birthplace of the Iga ninja. The Ninja Museum next to Ueno Castle is said to have the largest collection of ninja artifacts in the world.

🥷A must-visit place for ninja fans. Take the tram to Uenoshi Station, exit the station and go through the tunnel towards the city. The road is a bit deserted on weekdays in winter. Follow the signs to the Ninja Museum. The ticket is 800 yen, which is separate from the performance. It's 500 yen. I think the performance is the highlight. The museum part is relatively small and you can finish it quickly. You can go to the souvenir shop to buy souvenirs. 🥷The most important performance venue is next to the souvenir shop, next to the exit after visiting the museum. There are not performances every day, you have to check the time on the official website. There are two performances at 11:30 am and 1:30 pm on the same day. Enter 20 minutes before the performance starts. The fee is in cash and you have to find a seat yourself. You are not allowed to take photos or videos during the performance. The performance is quite interesting. These male and female ninjas have been trained and some parts are quite shocking. 🥷 Overall, if there is no performance, it is okay not to visit this museum, so when planning your itinerary, be sure to choose a day with a performance. #Osaka Attractions

I went to Kanaya, a famous sukiyaki restaurant in Iga City, Mie Prefecture! Sukiyaki is famous, but this time I tried butter-grilled beef! High-quality Iga beef is grilled on a hot plate with butter smeared on it 🧈 I can't get enough of it. Sukiyaki is good, but I also recommend the butter-grilled beef that you can only get here! 📍Kanaya Main Store 434 Ueno Nomincho, Iga City, Mie Prefecture 11:00-20:30 (LO 19:00) Closed on Mondays (closed the following day if Monday is a public holiday) #Mie #MieGourmet #Kanaya #ButterGrilled #Sukiyaki #Iga

In spring, the Sakura Festival is in full swing, but in winter, winter birds and camellias await spring in Ueno Park. From Ueno Park Station to the shrine, zoo, art museum, and Hanbakyu, if you walk around, you will see that Ueno Park is truly loved by Tokyoites. It is a place where you can feel the emotions that only Ueno Park can provide, including the leisure and relaxation, and the classic busking that unfolds in the middle of the park. I also like it here★★★

Ueno Park is the largest park in the Ueno area where you can see the Japanese traditions of Tokyo!! The Japanese temple was beautiful. You can see a Japanese park with colorful colors. It felt good to see children and mothers out during the day.! If you want to feel quiet while traveling, I highly recommend you visit. #citytravel #safetravel #hotplace #Uenopark #Ueno
