    It is an observation deck modeled after a castle tower on the eastern shoulder of Mt. Ushibushi, and admission is free, but There are time restrictions and you cannot enter outside of these hours. It has three floors and the view from the top is great. From here, climb to the west to reach the summit of Mt. Ushibushi. there is. The summit has an altitude of 490.7m. The observation deck seems to have been built using 100 million yen from Furusato Sosei.

    2022.5.29 上信越道吉井IC付近から山の上に見えるお城?が気になって調べて行ってみました。 他の人が書かれていますように展望台までの道は狭くすれ違いは無理な道幅です。 お城の形をした展望台ですが3階部分が展望台スペースになっており36度見渡せます。上毛三山はもちろん遠くは筑波山まで見えるようです。 一度は行く価値があると思います。

    とても眺望が良く、気持ちの良い展望台でした。 自動販売機が展望台の中にあるので良かったのですが、トイレは展望室内に見つからず、少し離れた場所にある公衆トイレを使いました。 子供は景色よりも、展望室にあるジオラマで遊んでいました。 桜の時期や紅葉の時期にも来てみたいです。 夜景も見てみたかったですが、夜は途中にある道路の門が閉まってしまうようなので、夜景は見れないようです。

    The road to the observation deck was a path of hydrangeas. The roads are narrow and some people are climbing or hiking on foot, so please be careful when driving. From the castle called Observation Deck, you can see the cities of Yoshii and Fujioka. Inside the castle, the history of Yoshii and Yoshii Karuta were exhibited. There are also vending machines. There are no toilets at the observation deck. It is located near the observation deck. It was a beautiful castle with a nice view and a pleasant location.

    (Translated by Google) Free observatory. The view is good if the weather is clear. The roads along the way are narrow and steep. *Parking available (Original) 無料の展望台。晴れていれば眺望が良いです。道中の道路は狭く、傾斜も急です。 ※駐車場あり

    (Translated by Google) The view from the observatory of the castle tower is wonderful. There are two free binoculars installed, but it's a shame because the lenses were a little cloudy due to aging. (Original) 天守閣の展望台からの眺望は素晴らしいです。 無料の双眼鏡が2か所据え付けられていますが、経年劣化でレンズが少々曇っていたので残念です。

    自転車で来ましたが瓦が落ちる危険があるという事で建物の中には入れませんでした。道中は道が狭く急勾配の坂道の為、かなりへばりましたが景色は最高でした。

    高速道路上信越、吉井あたりから長野に向かって左手側、山の上にお城が見えるのが気になり行ってみました。朝8半ごろ開門かたが見えて入りました。360度のパノラマでシンプルに良かったです。

    This time I visited by bicycle. It's an average of 10% for 3km, so it's easy to drive because the traffic is light, but the road surface isn't that clean. Especially since I visited during the cherry blossom season, the road surface was carpeted in pink and difficult to understand, especially on the descents. However, the cherry blossoms are planted on this slope without cutting, so you can enjoy the scenery while climbing. The citizens of Takasaki say it's a waste of tax money, but I don't think it's that bad. It is true that building a castle-like structure with no ties or connections is an overkill. It would be nice to have a vending machine at an observation deck with a well-maintained road at this altitude, but even though there are trash cans, there is nothing to put them in. . . Since the scenery is so nice, it must be nice to sit down and take a break.

    Climb the steep stairs inside the building to the third floor. If you go outside on the third floor, you can take a 360-degree turn and enjoy the scenery. The building was completed in 1989. There is a manager's room on the first floor. A manager was present during the day on public holidays. Parking is right next to the building. The road leading up to this point is narrow and the road continues for a long time, making it impossible to pass each other. There are also benches outside with a view.

    The ruins of the old clock tower? If the weather is good, a view that will make you forget time awaits you on the top floor of the castle tower. The fresh greenery in particular is eye-opening, so it's an elegant way to drive while being surrounded by hydrangeas. If you go to the nearby Ushibushiyama Kotohira Shrine, you'll find even more fun.

    As you drive along the Joshinetsu Expressway towards Nagano near Yoshii Interchange, you will see a small castle on top of the mountain on your left. If you park your car at Akaya Park and climb the mountain trail, you will find the observation deck of the castle, where you can see the Takasaki area in the distance.

    I went there to see the sunrise in 2023, but I couldn't drive to the observatory and had to walk for 30 minutes.

    There is an observation deck at the top, and the view is spectacular. There were also binoculars. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the company. It wasn't very well cleaned. It seems that you can only get the Goshuin stamp on a certain day, so I was in vain! The path both up and down is narrow and slippery!

    Along the way, the mountain road became narrower, and it was difficult for cars to cross paths with each other. The road is also rough... There is a parking lot. The view is good, but There's nothing to see like this I'm a little disappointed

    (Translated by Google) Last time, when I went to see the cherry blossoms in March, the reviews disappeared for some reason. Because you don't remember deleting it? erased? bug? So I will visit again 😅 Autumn leaves 🍁 are not yet on the road Be careful when passing because there are fallen leaves of cherry blossoms. Arrivals were open before 9am. Business hours are from 9:00 to 17:00 Staff were cleaning There were two groups of customers. The stairs going up to the second floor are still laughable at an angle of about 45°❗ The view is good, but I want to come again during the autumn leaves season (Original) 前回、3月サクラ🌸を見に参上も何故かクチコミが消えていた 消した覚えがないので?消された?バグ? てな訳で再度訪問っす😅 紅葉🍁はまだですが道路上には 桜の落ち葉があるため通行の際は注意です。 9時前に到着も開いてました。 営業時間9時~17時です 係員の方掃除やられていました 先客2組居ました。 二階に上がる階段は、相変わらず45°位の角度で笑える❗ 眺望は良いですが、紅葉の時期にまた、来たいです

    (Translated by Google) If the weather is nice, you can see 360 ​​degrees and the scenery is pretty good, so it is recommended. The road is narrow, but it seemed to be okay with a regular car. (Original) 天気が良ければ360度見渡せ、かなり景色がいいのでおすすめです。 道も狭いですが普通車なら大丈夫そうでした。

    (Translated by Google) Be careful as the road gate closes at night, but it is a pleasant place with a panoramic view of Takasaki. Light cars are recommended because the road is narrow. It may be good for driving Copen, S6, mini, etc. (Original) 夜間帯は道路のゲートが閉じるので注意ですが、高崎が一望でき気持ちの良い場所です。 道幅は狭いので軽自動車がお勧め。 コペンやS6、ミニなどのドライブに良いかも。

    (Translated by Google) It was long and comfortable. If you go by car, you need to drive carefully because the road is narrow. I was relieved that the parking lot was fairly large. (Original) 長めがよく気持ちよかった。車で行く場合道中が狭いので注意して運転する必要がある。駐車場はそこそこ広いので安心した。

    The view is good.

  • 4/5 s A. 4 years ago on Google
    The best place to see the scenery of Yoshii town. The road to the top is narrow for cars. The current castle seen from the bottom of the mountain is a dummy observatory, but there was actually a small fort about 500 years ago. This is to watch over the troops of the Provincial influentia who march in the plains. You can enter the current dummy observatory and enjoy the scenery. I recommend a daytime visit with good weather. However, since it is a small facility in the countryside, I want to allow spider webs and small insects to drift here. This mountain has an FM radio relay station antenna. But don't climb because the tip is not the top of this mountain. Surrounding it are important historical materials in Japan, such as stone statues of cattle and the “Dwelling of Tengu”. Because it was made by someone when I was in elementary school. It ’s important because it ’s a place where I played with “Koichi-kun”. Just for me. Furthermore, there is a bell tower at the altitude above it, and its tone is tasteful. Repeated hits are prohibited. You shouldn't be "Takahashi Master".
