Ueno Castle

Constructed by Takatora Todo (1556-1630), a famous commander of the Warring States period, what now remains is the inner moat and stone walls of that time and the castle tower which was reconstructed in 1935. Composed of 3 floors, the inside of the castle has exhibits of the weapons and armor of Takatora Todo, the personal effects of the Todo clan, and 46 colored-paper ceiling pictures by famous artists such as Daikan Yokoyama. The inner moat and rock wall is famous in Japan for its height, and is well worth seeing.
