Mugonkan Daini Exhibition Hall is worth a visit, located 4.9 mi (7.8 km) from central Ueda. If you want to experience more of the culture Ueda has to offer, head to Ikushimatarushima Shrine, Bessho Hot Springs, and Kitamuki-Kannon Temple.
If museums are on your list of things to see in Ueda, then you might want to head to Mugonkan. If you want to see more of the museums in Ueda, Takeshi Lamp Museum isn't far either.
