Takayama Village, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, has a population of about 3,500. In this small village, there is a genuine medieval castle that looks like it has traveled back in time from another dimension. This is Lockheart Castle. The original owner was the late actor Masahiko Tsugawa. He liked this castle, which stood in Scotland, England, and after purchasing it, he dismantled it and shipped it to Japan. However, after many twists and turns, it was finally taken over by the president of Sanpo Co., Ltd., a stonework company in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, with whom he had a connection. Then, in 1993, it was successfully restored in Takayama Village. At the time, Lockheart Castle was quietly open for business, but the real thing Because it is a medieval castle, it has been increasingly used as a location for TV dramas, movies, special effects, etc. Furthermore, wedding photos and dress-up experiences that make you feel like a princess have spread by word of mouth, and now it is crowded with many tourists from Japan and abroad. By the way, you can also enjoy fashion coordination with your beloved dog, and owners can enjoy it together. It is a rare spot where you can experience the elegant aristocratic feeling that only a real castle can have, and feel like you are overseas while in Japan. There are also many seasonal events, and when I visited, the spring umbrella sky was on display. The gardens other than the castle are actually very large, so you can enjoy it for half a day. #tripdomestictravel #spectacularview #oldcastle #GunmaPrefecture

#0yentravelautumn This is a real historic castle relocated and restored from Scotland, UK, in Agatsuma-gun, Gunma Prefecture. Costume rentals are available, and you can bring your pets and have photos taken with them. (Charged) It has also been used for filming movies and dramas, and the most famous one was "Fly Me to Saitama". It seems that weddings can also be held here, and when I went, an elderly couple was having their photos taken by a photographer, probably as a keepsake. You're sure to get some great wedding photos! If you're planning on getting married, why not try doing it here? Lol

The best hot spring town in Japan♨️ In Gunma Prefecture (群馬) near Tokyo! . Gunma Prefecture (Gunma) is in the Kanto region. Gunma has the largest number of natural hot springs in Japan. This makes it famous for its hot springs! And has been voted the best hot spring for 10 consecutive years. With its beautiful atmosphere and mountain views, I must say that this place is perfect for relaxation. . • How to get there You can travel from Tokyo by Shinkansen Joetsu Line to Takasaki Station. Then change to the JR Agatsuma Line and get off at Naganohara-kusatsuguchi Station. Then take a bus for about 25 minutes by train. Places of interest • Ozegahara • Morinji Temple • Kusatsu Onsen • Mount Tanigawa • Ikaho Onsen • Lockheart Castle • Fukiware no Taki • Haruna Shrine • Tomioka Silk Mill • Watarase Keikoku Railway .

I will introduce "Lockheart Castle" in Gunma Prefecture. Lockheart Castle is a theme park that recreates the streets of medieval Europe by relocating and restoring a castle from Scotland. It is often used for filming dramas and movies. To get there, take the Joetsu Shinkansen from Ueno to Jomo-Kogen Station and then a 20-minute taxi ride. If you are driving, it is a 20-minute ride from Numata IC on the Kanetsu Expressway. The highlight of Lockheart Castle is the relocated castle. It is especially beautiful on sunny days and is a popular photo spot. Since it is a relocated castle, it is a very valuable castle. And Lockheart Castle is not only visible from the outside, but the inside is an exhibition room divided into many areas. The jewelry collection in particular displays various costume jewelry, including jewelry used in Chanel fashion shows, so it is a recommended exhibition area for women. For men, I recommend the World Castle Library & Master's Room. As the name suggests, the room is a replica of the owner's room, and you can sit in the chairs, so you can experience being the owner yourself. The restaurant is also designed to match the European cityscape. There are two restaurants, but I recommend the restaurant in front of the castle called "Big Heart". If there is a seat available, please use the terrace seats or window seats where you can see the castle! I recommend it because you can see the castle while eating. At Lockheart Castle, you can also try on a dress, and you can walk around in a tuxedo or dress. There is also a plan where a professional photographer will take your picture, so it's a good idea to try it as a souvenir! Lockheart Castle is a little difficult to access, but it makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to medieval Europe, and you can enjoy it for another day. Above all, the view is great, so it's especially recommended for people who like photography. ⭐Lockheart Castle 5583-1 Nakayama, Takayama-mura, Agatsuma-gun, Gunma Prefecture 377-0702 #FreeHongKongAirTicket #GunmaTourism #GunmaPrefecture
