Numata Park

Numata Park encompasses the remains of Numata Castle, situated on a cliff overlooking the upper reaches of the Tone River in Gunma Prefecture.

The castle, constructed in 1532 by Numata Akiyasu, became a focal point of battles between the Uesugi and Takeda clans during the Sengoku period.

The Ubukata House, relocated to the park in 1973, stands as an Important Cultural Property representing traditional Edo period architecture and medicinal practices.

The park maintains continuous public access throughout the year, featuring dedicated parking spaces for cars and buses near the tourist information center.

A 400-year-old Gotenzakura cherry tree stands among 200 other cherry trees, marking the changing seasons within the park grounds.
