Background of Uenojyo (Ueno Castle)

Uenojyo (Ueno Castle)

Uenojyo Enterprise was established in 1946 by Chitoshi (Sennen) Ueno.

In 1969, he undertook a project that was inspired by one of Japan's famous castles, Hikone Castle. This unique landmark became one of the area's most popular choice for traditional Japanese style weddings for many years.

Today the castle is the main office of Uenojyo Enterprise. This company has been actively involved with large land development projects in Kagoshima, Japan since 1960. Since that time, Ueno Enterprise has designed and built 5 residential towns with approximately 8,000 houses.

Today one of the major focuses of the company's land development projects has been placed on earthquake safety and standards for both land and structural use.

Only one castle tower in Kagoshima

Castle is Japanese style palace. In Kagoshima, Tsurumaru Castle (also called Kagoshima Castle) was built by Iehisa Shimazu during the Edo era. However the Shogun Shimazu did not build a main castle tower, only the gate and fence. It was believed because Kagoshima is located at the south end of Japan (at that time Okinawa was not part of Japan) there was little danger of being attacked. For this reason a local business man named Chitoshi (Sennen) Ueno decided to build Kagoshima a castle. Ueno Castle (Uenojyo) became the first castle tower in Kagoshima and the symbol of Ueno Enterprise since that time.
