Tatebayashi Castle itself does not have many remains to see but combined with the two samurai homes a history walk and some other old merchant shops it is an interesting side trip.

This is the last update from my spring and summer trips and just in time for Autumn!

 

Tatebayashi Castle / 館林城

Besides the reconstructed castle gate (1983), there is not much to see of the castle itself. There are only a few signs around the original castle grounds pointing out locations of gates and baileys. There also two original samurai residences and a large Nagayamon gate moved here from a wealthy farmstead. Combined together, these sites make Tatebayashi makes an interesting visit if you are on the area. The castle diorama seen in some of the photos below is in a wing off the library near the Dobashimon Gate. There are other artifacts here too but you you can only take photos of the diorama.
