| Matsumoto Castle is a national treasure with a striking black and white contrast against the mountains |
Matsumoto Castle⭐⭐, a national treasure of Japan, is a must-visit destination for history buffs and travelers seeking a glimpse into the country's rich past. Its striking black and white exterior stands out against the surrounding landscape, while its intricate wooden interior offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese architecture. The castle's unique design, featuring both a main keep and a secondary donjon, is a testament to its historical significance. Visitors can explore the castle's grounds, admire the surrounding cherry blossoms in spring, or simply soak up the serene atmosphere of this iconic landmark.
A Peaceful Moment: Along the Castle Moat
Matsumoto Castle, a renowned cherry blossom destination, offers visitors a serene stroll through its spacious grounds and park. Surrounding the outer moat, hundreds of Somei Yoshino cherry trees create a breathtaking spectacle when they bloom in mid-April. Regrettably, our visit from April 4th to April 7th, 2024, was a week too early to experience this natural beauty at its peak, as the castle staff informed us.
