Activity Overview

Nestled in the lush highlands of Kita-Karuizawa, Gunma Prefecture, Lockheart Castle is Japan's only fully authentic Scottish castle — a remarkable piece of European history transplanted stone by stone from Scotland and lovingly reconstructed in the serene Japanese countryside. Originally built in the 1920s in Hamilton, Scotland, the castle was carefully dismantled, shipped to Japan, and reassembled in the 1990s on a sprawling estate surrounded by manicured English gardens, rose beds, and seasonal blooms that create a dreamlike, fairy-tale atmosphere throughout the year.

Today, Lockheart Castle serves as a beloved destination for couples, families, and romantics drawn to its enchanting blend of European heritage and Japanese sensibility. The estate offers a variety of experiences including chapel weddings, period costume rentals, afternoon tea, and seasonal illuminations — all set against the castle's timeless Gothic stone architecture and the breathtaking natural backdrop of the Gunma highlands. Whether you visit for a stroll through the gardens, a fairy-tale photo session, or a full wedding celebration, Lockheart Castle delivers a uniquely magical experience found nowhere else in Japan.
