Ueno, Mie

Ueno (上野市, Ueno-shi) was a city located in Mie Prefecture, Japan.

It was often referred to as Iga-Ueno to avoid confusion with other Uenos, including one in Ise Province which is now part of Yokkaichi.

On November 1, 2004, Ueno, along with the towns of Iga (former) and Ayama, the villages of Ōyamada and Shimagahara (all from Ayama District), and the town of Aoyama (from Naga District), were merged to create the city of Iga.

In the mid-15th to late 16th century, the site where the castle now stands was the main headquarters of the Iga ikki.
