Takasaki Castle Ruins Park (高崎城址公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A park built on the ruins of Takasaki Castle, where the Takasaki domain's government was located during the Edo period. Although the main tower no longer stands, the relocated and restored Inu-Yagura turret and Eastern Gate convey the appearance of that era. A verdant walking trail along the moat serves as a gathering place for residents. The park is spacious and open, allowing for a leisurely stroll even in the summer sun by choosing shaded areas. It is the perfect starting point for a city tour where you can experience the history of Takasaki, which developed as a castle town.

Tips

About 15 minutes on foot from Takasaki Station. The Gunma Music Center is just nearby, so it's recommended to at least view its exterior.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. During strong sunlight, choosing the shaded trail along the moat provides comfort.
