Ueno, Mountain village in Tano district, Gunma Prefecture, Japan

The village extends over 181 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in southwestern Gunma Prefecture, bordering Saitama Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture.

The village administration was formally established in April 1889 during the Meiji period as part of the national reorganization of local governments.

The population of Ueno maintains agricultural and forestry traditions that have sustained the community through generations in this mountainous region.

The village connects to major urban centers through bus services from Shimonita Station and Shinmachi Station, with National Routes 299 and 462 providing road access.

The village contains the Ueno Sky Bridge, a pedestrian suspension bridge stretching 225 meters across the landscape at 90 meters above ground.
