Inui Turret, Takasaki Castle01 ／ Senshin-tei
A prefectural historic site, this single-story house stands in the grounds of Shorinzan Daruma-ji. Bruno Taut, an architect who came to Japan to escape the rise of the Nazis, was invited by a Takasaki native and spent two years and three months here from August 1, 1934, designing furniture and bamboo crafts.
02 ／ Kannonzuka Kofun
A keyhole-shaped mound from the late 6th to early 7th century, about 97 m long. The city writes that a stone chamber built of such huge stones was not seen in this area. The entrance was found by chance in 1945, and about 300 burial goods came out.
03 ／ Maniwa Nenryu dojo
A prefectural historic site, listed as the Maniwa Nenryu dojo and related documents. Nenryu is said to pass its secret scrolls to only one person per generation.
