*How to Travel to Matsumoto Castle by Train*
From Tokyo to Nagano it takes 1 hour and 22 mins on the Shinkansen. Then from Nagano station, you’ll take the JR to Matsumoto Station which takes about 50 minutes. From Matsumoto station, it is a short 15 minute walk to the castle.
*Matsumoto Travel Tip*
Before heading to Matsumoto I dropped off my luggage in a locker at Nagano station. It's a convenient way to not have to carry a large suitcase everywhere you go for a day. It's super easy to use - just follow the instructions on the computer.
Even though this machine is marked with Suica you can still use PASMO and vice versa. If you're using an older coin locker you should take a picture of the locker and the area around it just in case you forget where it is when you come back for your stuff.
*Does It Cost Money to Visit Matsumoto Castle?*
If you don't want to pay to go into the castle, you can walk around the castle. It is a relaxing stroll and be sure to take plenty of photos of the castle from different angles.
It cost 610 yen a person to go inside the castle courtyard and castle.
*Matsumoto Castle fun facts*
Here are some interesting facts about Matsumoto castle:
- It is unique because it is a hirajiro which is a castle built on plains rather than on a hill or mountain. Because of this the castle has to build its own defense system which includes inter-connecting walls, moats, and gatehouses. Also it makes for great picture because of the Northern Alps in the background of the castle
- There are 12 castles all around Japan but only two is five stories high: this one and Himeji castle. But there's a secret inside: there is an extra floor inside that looks like a loft.
- Matsumoto castle is also known as the black castle because of its black exterior
*Frog Street: Nawate Dori Street*
On your way back to the JR station don't forget to check out Nawate dori street, which is also known as frog street.
There used to be a ton of Kajika frogs which roamed this area. In 1959, a typhoon came and caused the river to overflow. This made all the frogs leave for higher ground and cleaner water upstream. The people worked hard to clean up the river, but the frogs never came back. The people of the city then built many artificial frogs to bring Nawate Street’s spirit back.
In 1972, the Kaeru Daimyoujin, a mini frog shrine, was created to revamp the old street. Nawate Street was then coined Kaeru Machi ('Frog Street'), a place where locals and travelers could bask in the lively atmosphere of days past.
It is Matsumoto's Edo Era-themed shopping street. It takes you back into history and see how shops back then used to look like. There are cute boutique shops and antique dealers. If you want a little snack there are bakeries and candy stories.

Matsumoto Castle
Matsumoto Castle is the pride and joy of Matsumoto. Being the oldest intact castle in Japan and having black color scheme (unique among Japanese castles), it is a must see if you are in the area. My recommendation is to check out the castle in 3 parts:
1) Explore Matsumoto Castle Park. It's the free area outside the castle that is always open. I've walked around the castle many times and each time I see something new and amazing. It's also a great place to meet with friends, eat your lunch, or read a book.
2) Go into the Castle Grounds, explore its gardens, and go inside the castle. Find the English tours put on by passionate Alps Language Service Association volunteers. Then, of course, gets some gifts in the gift shop.
3) Go back there at sun-set with some food, drinks, and friends, and enjoy the castle lit up with spotlights. It's lit until 10pm every night!
Highlights:
- Learning about the history of Matsumoto Castle (there is so much more than I could mention in my video!)
- Getting a photo of yourself with the red bridge and the castle in the same shot
- All the great events held there all year! Info on events is here:

Hey everyone! Today is our first full day of our Japan April 2018 trip and we're spending the whole day in Kanazawa! Kanazawa is a large city on the northern shore of Japan's main island (Honshu).

Visiting an old Japanese village and Matsumoto Castle
Do you want to see more of Japan's countryside and visit some hidden treasures? We explored the area around Hakuba valley and did a daytrip to Matsumoto Castle, one of the national treasures of Japan. Spontaneously, we decided to visit the old Japanese village Narai-Juku, an old post town on the Nakasendo trail connecting Kyoto and Tokyo. Both locations are perfect to learn something about Japanese history and are very picturesque. We loved this historic excursion around Japan's countryside! Did you?

Matsumoto Castle - 松本城 - 4K Ultra HD
Matsumoto Castle - 松本城 - 4K Ultra HD : Depending on where you are getting your information from, Matsumoto Castle in Nagano is either the second or third most beautiful castle in Japan, and to be fair, we cannot disagree here! Located about 220km away from Tokyo it is considered to be one of Japan’s most important national treasures.
Built in the 16th century, the Matsumoto Castle is unlike many other Japanese castles, built on a plain rather than on a hill or mountain top and surrounded by a picturesque moat.
Gorgeous from the outside, Matsumoto Castle also offers a unique chance for its visitors to travel into the past by allowing them to visit each and every floor, making Matsumoto Castle such a unique experience with its many exhibitions of historical weapons and other architectural wonders.
Highly recommended all year long, Matsumoto Castle is one of these marvels of Japan that everybody needs to visit once in their lifetime!

Matsumoto Castle - Crow Castle Drone Footage Japan 4K 松本城
Matsumoto Castle - Crow Castle Drone Footage Japan 4KMatsumoto Castle (松本城? Matsumoto-jō) is one of Japan's premier historic castles, along with Himeji Castle and Kumamoto Castle. The building is also known as the Crow Castle (烏城? Karasu-jō) due to its black exterior. It was the seat of the Matsumoto domain. It is located in the city of Matsumoto, in Nagano Prefecture and is within easy reach of Tokyo by road or rail.
The keep (tenshukaku), which was completed in the late sixteenth century, maintains its original wooden interiors and external stonework. It is listed as a National Treasure of Japan.
Matsumoto Castle is a flatland castle (hirajiro) because it is not built on a hilltop or amid rivers, but on a plain. Its complete defences would have included an extensive system of inter-connecting walls, moats, and gatehouses
The castle's origins go back to the Sengoku period. At that time Shimadachi Sadanaga of the Ogasawara clan built a fort on this site in 1504, which originally was called Fukashi Castle. In 1550 it came under the rule of the Takeda clan and then Tokugawa Ieyasu.
When Toyotomi Hideyoshi transferred Ieyasu to the Kantō region, he placed Ishikawa Norimasa in charge of Matsumoto. Norimasa and his son Yasunaga built the tower and other parts of the castle, including the three towers: the keep and the small tower in the northwest, both begun in 1590, and the Watari Tower; the residence; the drum gate; the black gate, the Tsukimi Yagura, the moat, the innermost bailey, the second bailey, the third bailey, and the sub-floors in the castle, much as they are today. They also were instrumental in laying out the castle town and its infrastructure. It is believed much of the castle was completed by 1593–94.
During the Edo period, the Tokugawa shogunate established the Matsumoto Domain, of which the Matsudaira, Mizuno, and others were the daimyōs.
For the next 280 years until the abolition of the feudal system in the Meiji Restoration, the castle was ruled by the 23 lords of Matsumoto representing six different daimyō families. In this period the stronghold was also known as Crow Castle (烏城? Karasu-jo) because its black walls and roofs looked like spreading wings.

Matsumoto Castle - Nagano ᴴᴰ ● 松本城 長野
► Matsumoto Castle is one of Japan's premier castles, in its original keep, built in 1504, and unlike most other castles in Japan, it's exterior is black. The location is really beautiful, with the moat in the front, and hilltops in the background - well worth a visit if you're visiting Japan.
Also, it's interior is all original, in wood and stone, not concrete as the new rebuilt castles of Nagoya and Osaka. Together with Himeji Castle (and sadly, the now partly destroyed Kumamoto Castle) it's one of the most beautiful original castles in Japan. - Enjoy!
A day in Matsumoto, Japan
Matsumoto Japan. A relaxing place near Nagano with the popular Matsumoto castle. The Matsumoto castle in Japan is often considered the most popular castle in Japan, but that can be debated. The castle is $4 US dollars (410 yen ????) to get in but the garden is free. Outside of Matsumoto castle is a big park with a beautiful Japanese style red bridge. One of the bridges is used to get to grounds near the Matsumoto castle, which is where you can see people plays games, eating and of course taking pictures of the Matsumoto castle. Inside the castle is ancient artifacts from the history of the area, and facts about the castle.

Kalau mampir ke kota Matsumoto jangan lupa datang ke Matsumoto Castle.
Hanya sekitar kurang dari lima menit jaraknya dari hotel tempat kami menginap.
Selain castle nya sangat cantik, yang paling menarik kita bisa memberi makan ikan yang besar-besar juga burung-burung di Matsumoto Park, jangan lupa sebelum datang ke tempat ini beli roti dulu. Saat itu guide kami sudah membelikan rotinya sehingga kami tinggal memberi saja.
