What's So Special About Ueda ? 長野大学から上田周辺観光について国際情報 International Information About Ueda Area Tourism from Nagano University What's so special about Ueda ? 長野大学から上田周辺観光について国際情報 International Information about Ueda Area Tourism From Nagano University Issue No. 1 January 2010 [History] The park was the palace of the Sanada clan in ancient times. As we all know, the Tokugawa clan, later ruler of Japan, attacked Ueda Castle twice, but was repelled by the Sanada clan, who ruled the Ueda region at that time. So the Sanada clan are the heroes of the Ueda. In order to commemorate Yukimura Sanada, every year the local people hold some festivals to commemorate him. The park is famous as a historic castle park [Cherry festival] In Ueda Castle Park there are about 1000 cherry trees. Every year people all over Japan come to Ueda Castle Park to see the cherry trees flower in April. They call it “festival of a thousand cherry trees.” They eat and drink under the cherry trees. There also are performances by local people; they sing and dance to welcome the tourists. [Maple festival] And in November, some maple trees turn red and some turn yellow. The maple festival comes in fall. The castle is covered by the red and yellow maple trees, there are many performances to celebrate the maple festival. For example you can try to wear the suit of armour of the Sanada clan to experience their heroic manner. [ Ueda City Museum] In this museum, you can see a lot of documents about the history, folk customs and nature of Ueda after the Middle Ages. The characteristic collection of this museum is the armour of the Ueda ruler in each dynasty, and the documents about the way of raising cicada. Reference:http://museum.umic.ueda.nagano.jp/hakubutsukan/gaiyou/gaiyou.html [Kanae Yamamoto Memorial Art Museum] The museum is named after an artist called Yamamoto. He is an artist of western painting. And he guided the famer art campaign in the age of Taisho (大正). In order to commemorate him the local people built the Kanae Yamamoto Memorial Art Museum. Yamamoto’s art painting and wooded handicraft art are collected in this museum.

It is near Kokubunji Station. The Kokubunji temple was described in an imperial edict proclaimed by Emperor Shomu in 741(Nara Era) as “a temple with a pagoda which is a symbol of the nation. Thus the site should be chosen and maintained eternally” complying with this edict. The finest site had to be chosen in each province for Kokubunji temples and in the province of Shinano it was Ueda city. As the result of excavations from 1963 to 1971, the existence of a middle gate, main hall, lecture condor, pagoda, monks’ living quarters, and earthen wall called “Tsuiji-bei” (築 地塀), nuns’ living quarters, document archive and north gate have been confirmed or can be assumed. Manyo botanical garden (万葉植物園) Manyo Syu（万葉集）is the oldest poem book in Japan. Plants that are mentioned in the poetry are planted here in the park. You can see ancient poems and plants. You can understand what ancient people thought when they looked at plants. In fall, colored leaves are very beautiful. Bag Wisteria (カバンの藤) In spring, wisterias bloom. There are wisteria trellises. It is called, "wisterias of the bag" because a banker brought seedlings in bags from his hometown in the past. Ueda Municipal Shinano-Kokubunji Archaeological Museum (上田市立信濃国分寺史跡博物館) There is an archaeological museum of Shinano Kokubunji in the park. The museum facility was built in the park in 1980. (Opening hours: A.M.8:30~P.M.5:00. Closed days: every Wednesday, holidays and December 29 ~January 3.) © Ayaka Kaneko /Photos by Kaneko January 2010 2 Park and Wooded Area in Ueda Kogane Zawa (黄金沢) and Shinden Park (新田公園) (Kogane Zawa and cherry trees) (A small ground) Kogane Zawa Kogane Zawa is a stream. People living in Ueda think it is an important place. It runs from Mt.Taro in the northern part of Ueda. “Kogane Zawa” originates from yellow ironstones. Those were gotten around here in the past. Those look like gold. In Japanese, “kogane” means “gold.” In spring, we can enjoy looking at cherry blossoms there. It is one of the popular cherry blossoms places, but people who are not living in Ueda do not know it is a cherry blossoms place. People have lunch and talk with family under the trees when the cherry blossoms are at their best in full bloom. There is a small ground when we climb up the hill. Children enjoy playing baseball or dodge ball there because Kogane Zawa is beside an elementary school. Students at the school enjoy the cherry blossom with classmates there, too. (Kogane Zawa Stream) 3 In the photo below is the elementary school and the “flower road” that the students made. We can see beautiful flowers. In summer, children come to the stream to play in the water. There are small crabs in the water. Senior citizens keep themselves cool by reading books and talking with friends in the shade of cherry trees. The leaves turn yellow in autumn. The landscape is so beautiful. Children collect fallen leaves, and enjoy cooking sweet potatoes in small fires made with the leaves. In winter, the stream freezes over. Kogane Zawa becomes a dangerous place in winter because it is wet and slippery. We must be careful, but the snowscape is mysterious. When it snows, white color is everywhere. Shinden Park Shinden Park is near Kogane Zawa.There are benches and playground equipment. Parents and children come there on fine days. Then, children play on the playground equipment, and parents enjoy talking with other children’s parents on the benches. I think Kogane Zawa and Shinden Park are connected with lives of people in Ueda City. (Elementary school and flower road) How to get there: We can go straight up from Ueda station. You will find the elementary school on the right side after walking about 30 minutes. (Shinden Park) ©Ayaka Kaneko/Photos by Kaneko January 2010 4 Nagaike Park (長池公園) Nagaike Park is next to Ueda Sozokan. It is a big park. There are a gate ball area and a water place. The park was built in 1986. The land at the park was reclaimed from a reservoir. The name of the reservoir was “Nagaike,” so the name of this park is Nagaike Park. Many events are held by Ueda Sozokan here. So, a lot of families come to enjoy the activities. For example, we can look up at the starry sky and see shooting stars in the park at night. In the gate ball place, elderly people enjoy playing gate ball. Gate ball is a popular sport among the elderly people. Gate ball area The name of the water place is Seseragi Hiroba. In summer, water flows and makes an artificial waterfall. Children play with water. Children play on the playground. It’s a big playground. There are slides and swings. Their mothers enjoy talking with other mothers on the benches. Seseragi Hiroba (せせらぎ広場) There are a library and a planetarium in Ueda Sozokan. We can read books and see stars there. There are seminars and personal computer classes, too. The planetarium in Ueda Sozokan is beautiful. It changes the story by the season. It is interesting. The planetarium is open on Saturday and Sunday. (See information about the Sozokan by Li Xiaochen on page 6.) Playground The park is seven minutes by car from Sugadaira IC. There is a parking area. You can also take the Bessho Line from Ueda Station to Akasaka Station. When you get off at Akasaka Station, You can walk to Ueda Sozokan from there in ten minutes. (See the map on page 6.) © Ayaka Kaneko/Photos by Kaneko January 2010 5 Ueda Sozokan On the first floor of the Sozokan, there is a culture hall on the left. The culture hall exhibition room is a place where films, music, drama and other things are shown. The room can accommodate 500 people. On the right, there is a material room for folk customs. The room displays items from the life of people in Ueda city between the Tayisyou (大正) Era and the Syowa (昭和) Era. On the second floor, there are an art museum and a community hall. The art museum displays some pictures and carvings. The community hall has two rooms. Both of them are meeting rooms for research, study or other things. There are a hearing and viewing room for seeing films and studying on the third floor. Next to it, there is a library. You can read books there or borrow some books. Behind the library, there is a study room. I always go there to study on the weekend. (Sozokan Entrance) (Behind the Sozokan) There is astronomy dome in the fourth floor. The room can accept 120 people. The starlit sky of the four seasons can be projected in the room. There are a science experimentation room and a computer room in this floor. Next to the main building, there is a gymnasium. The gymnasium can be used by citizens. But before using the gymnasium, you must reserve it at least 10 days before.

The castle was built on a cliff along the Chikuma River. The castle became known all over Japan after the Sanada clan defeated the formidable Tokugawa army twice. For the first battle, a small force of 2000 Sanada soldiers fought an enormous 8000-strong Tokugawa army and defeated the Tokugawa in 1585. In the second battle, in 1600, the Sanada again defeated the much bigger Tokugawa army. In the Battle of Sekigahara (1600), the biggest inland battle in Japanese history, the Tokugawa fought against the Toyotomi fiercely.

    Today’s Education Shapes Tomorrow’s Future NPO GREENWOOD “I want to go camping all year! Then we can make our own food, carve our own dinnerware, and maybe even build our own house!” Words like these from children living in the city are what led us to establish the Daidarabotchi life lessons classroom. Four children and three adults came together with the intent to “live by their own efforts.” Every night, we got together and shared our hopes and fears with the group. I Want to Go Camping All Year! We talked about what kind of house we wanted to build and how we would build it. However, building a house is not the same as building a life. Every day, the children made their meals, did their own cleaning and laundry, and went to school. We used our combined knowledge and skills in order to make our dream a reality, trying and failing over and over again. NPO Greenwood, as well as the core values that we uphold, started from this life that we built together.
