Uenoshi Sta. (Kintetsu Iga Line); 10 min walk
Todo Takatora's main keep was never finished, so this is a mock reconstruction. Nevertheless, I appreciate the attempt at a wooden reconstruction (as opposed to another concrete monstrosity) and the museum houses some good exhibits. I was very disappointed in the state of the huge stone walls. They are filled with weeds and trees both in the middle of the wall and along the top. Some places look like they could start to crumble at any moment and one section along the top was off limits for exactly that reason. As you walk around the moat level to see the stone walls, the weeds and trees are so thick that it was very difficult to get good views much less good pictures. Some of the tallest stone walls in Japan should be kept in better condition. The grounds also have a ninja museum and show for those ninja fans out there. I didn't have time to visit on this trip but maybe next time.
60 mins, more if you visit the ninja museum
open 9am to 5pm; closed Dec 29-31. 500 yen for the main keep museum.
