History of Unno Yado Unno Yado was opened in the 2nd year of Kanei (1625) as a inn station in Kitakuni Highway. The Kitakuni Highway is an important highway connecting the Nakasendo Highway and the Hokuriku Expressway. In addition to the transportation of gold mined in Sado and the change of attendance of the daimyo of Hokuriku, there was also frequent traffic with Edo, and there were many pilgrims to Zenkoji.

After the Shukuba-juku function was lost in the Meiji era, it moved to a sericulture village.

Speaking of famous warlords of the Sanada clan, "Sanada Yukimura (Sanada Nobushige)" (Sanada Yukimura), who played an active role in chasing down "Tokugawa Ieyasu" in the "Osaka Natsujin" in 1615 (Keicho 20), and "Sanada Masayuki" (Sanada Masayuki), who defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu's large army twice, are famous. In addition, as a conspiracy general of "Takeda Shingen" (bosho: a general who excelled in strategy), "Sanada Yukitaka" (Sanada Yukitaka), who was said to be inferior to Takeda Shingen, can be mentioned. Prior to the establishment of the Shukuba town, Unno Yado was called "Unno-go" or "Umino-sho" and was the birthplace of the Umino clan, a branch of the Shigeno clan of Shinshu, which is said to be the root of the Sanada clan, from Heian to Kamakura and the Sengoku period. ⭐︎Key points ⭐of this photo︎ This is the current state of the main team. When you open the gate, you will be greeted by a magnificent tree. In addition, one of Sanada Yukimura's entourage, "Umino Rokuro" (Unnorokuro), whose name also appears in the creative vassal group "Sanada Ten Brave Warriors" (Sanada Ju Yuushi), is also said to have been from this area. In 1583 (Tensho 11), Masayuki Sanada moved the shrine and town from Umino to Ueda when he built "Ueda Castle" (Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture). After that, the village was reduced and Unno Yado was established as an "inn station on the snow country highway".

The long week of the new school year is coming to an end. Here's a little reflection of March. [Implementation of study tour by junior high and high school students @ Tomi City] 3/23 (Sat) - 26 (Tue) As part of the Ueda-Tomi Study Tour, members of the Social Action Team of the Volunteer Department of International Secondary School attached to Tokyo Gakugei University visited Tomi City! While continuing the relationship with Ueda, this time the field was expanded to Tomi, and 14 junior high and high school students experienced Tomi for the first time (Tomi was on the 1st day of 3/25). We actually visit the area, interacted with local people, and worked on a study tour to think about local issues together from the perspective of junior high and high school students. Tomi's theme is "How can people gather in Tomi?" (It's huge!) Because this was my first time in Tomi, I dared to ask them to grasp the charm of Tomi from multiple perspectives without being bound by the perspective of tourism. [Local people who cooperated this time] ⚪︎Cave Hatano Hatano-san ⚪︎SASAKI FARM 佐々木さん ⚪︎ Kodama Family Residence & Cafe Nei Kodama's family ⚪︎Unno Yado Kamishuya Asakawa-san * SASAKI FARM was specially accepted for training. Please note that it is not a tourist ranch. The junior high and high school students fell in love with the land of Tomi itself and enthusiastically asked specific and Gari wide-ranging questions, touching the enthusiasm of the Adult who took on the challenge of realizing their commitments and aspirations. Although it was only one day, I was very impressed by the way they tried to get to know Tomi deeply. At the end, the "charm of Tomi" that everyone felt at the Unno Yado Fureai Center was output in a short time. From the moment you unfold the imitation paper, the pen moves all at once! Impression by the enthusiasm of the junior high and high school students. I'm looking forward to the reports that will be compiled in the future. Tomi, like Ueda, I can't help but think that we can build a Gari with continuity.

When you come to the Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest, if you use Google Maps on your smartphone or other device to navigate, the route from Agematsu Station to the Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest will guide you to the following red route (via the Takakura and Tai areas) from around July 2021. This road is very narrow from the middle, and it is not recommended for general vehicles to pass because it is partly unpaved. Use the fully paved road (via Yakisasa area) via Prefectural Road 473. As of September 2022, we have generally started to guide you on Prefectural Road 473, but the guide route may change when you stop at another stop or make a mistake at the branch. Use other map apps as an alternative. When I checked Yahoo! Maps, I was guided by the correct route. When coming to the Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest, please pay attention to the above route.
