The 34th Ueda Sanada Festival

With Ueda being the hometown for the samurai Sanada about 400 years ago, they take the story of the Sanada clan and put it into the “Ueda Sanada Festival”. The festival started in 1983 and is to celebrate the completion of Ueda castle, of which not much is left due to domestic battles.  The festival contains a lot of shows telling the story of the Sanada clan and is a must-see if you have the option to be in the region!
