Takayama, Gunma / ロックハート城
Lockheart Castle
A historic castle moved and restored from Scotland, often used as a film and drama location. The 100,000 m2 grounds recreate a medieval European townscape with a stone church, a restaurant serving European country food and local beer, and an English garden with seasonal flowers; the "Princess Experience" lets you choose from over 500 dresses and take photos around the castle and garden.
