Iga Ueno Castle

In 1585, Sadatsugu Tsutsui built a castle on the plateau where Heirakuji Temple had been located. In 1608, after Sadatsugu's territory was confiscated by Ieyasu Tokugawa, Takatora Todo, who was said to be a master of castle construction, entered Iga. He renovated and expanded the castle to focus on fortifying the western side of it so that it could counter a battle against the Osaka and Toyotomi forces. At that time, a five-story castle tower was built, but it collapsed due to a great storm in 1612. After that, turrets, a main gate, and a palace were built, but the castle tower was never rebuilt.

Dōgo Onsen Honkan

Boasting a history of roughly 3,000 years, Dōgo Onsen is considered by many to be Japan’s oldest hot spring. Its iconic symbol, the Dōgo Onsen Honkan, was rebuilt in 1894 as a public bathhouse and is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. After six years of extensive preservation and restoration work, the wooden three-story bathhouse fully reopened in 2024, offering a renewed experience designed to soak in the historical beauty up close.
