Daily Life in Nawate-Dori Street - Matsumoto ᴴᴰ ● なわて通り商店街 松本
► Nawate Dori is a nice little, old fashioned shopping street (dori means street in Japanese) alongside the canal in Matsumoto, halfway between Matsumoto Station and Matsumoto Castle.
It's lined with mostly craft shops, snack foods and little restaurants.
A great little spot for a walk, well worth a visit if you happen to be in Matsumoto. - Enjoy.

*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.

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.

NANKOTSU!!!!! Nice izakaya in Matsumoto
Yea its been a wile ............
Izakaya time at a great place in Matsumoto.
We mainly focused on chicken but there is plenty of other stuff on the menu as it is an izakaya :P
The izakaya is called ippo .......yes...... IPPO 一歩
Map to the izakaya HERE:
Also featured is a small bar....a great place to get some drinks late at night. Not close to the station but defiantly worth a little extra walk. Both places are very close to Matsumoto castle.
Its called: おもや平出酒店 hiraide saketen....... its kind of an outlet for a liquor distributor or something hanging on the corner of the street attached to a small warehouse outlet. Fine fine whiskey and a nice variety of common and interesting drinks. I haven't seen such a variety of Yamazaki yet but then maybe I need to get out more :P

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?

Delight In Matsumoto, A Town maybe not Famous For Chestnuts but delicios this morning in Nawate Street is a frog-themed street south of Matsumoto Castle. Many shops, ranging from food to antiques, line the narrow street
Matsumoto Japan
My second home here... just a random day with some touristy facts. Matsumoto is a 3 to 4 hour ride on the Azusa line from Shinjuku station. Nice way to get outta Tokyo for a long weekend if you can come up with the train fare.... about 17000yen round trip.

Keio Buses in Shinjuku for about 6000-7000 Yen roundtrip

Ramen Shop in Matsumoto Japan
Yes ramen!!! There are a lot of ramen videos out there but this place is well known in Matsumoto. The dining area is very small and the atmosphere is very small town. Located just outside the main city in a small neighborhood, it has a very cozy appeal. Locals wait in line up to a half hour to grab a seat and get to business eating selections of ramen and soba from a small menu. The atmosphere reminds me of an old Kurosawa movie. You take whatever seat becomes available and your party may be split up sharing a table with strangers. The point here is to eat your famouse ramen and make way for the next customer. Not time for chatting after the meal ... pay the bill and make room. This is not a problem because its a privilage to get a taste of the home cooking before they run out of noodles. It opens for lunch early and usually runs out around noon. I focused on the most popular ramen dish, pork, bamboo, naruto, and a dark broth with noodles. The noodles are made on site every day!! The place is called Miyama Shokudo and the locals know it well.

Al's Japan trip-Day 5: Matsumoto
The weather did not get any better from Nagano to Matsumoto. Visited the castle in the rain and cold and never took video. I did eat at two good restaurants. The first was Kobayashi Soba. Had battery issues so never took video. They actually give you real wasabi to grate. I had the tempura soba combo which was great. Tempura was crispy and soba firm and chewy.
For dinner I went to Torishin, an izakaya restaurant. It is a lively atmosphere with the staff shouting out who knows what. You are literally sitting elbow to elbow in a small space. The star of the show is the master chef who seasons the food with flair. They say he gets more salt on his cap than anywhere else. I had just 3 dishes. Toriwasa, raw chicken. Yep raw. It was excellent. Tasted like maguro. Tebasaki, chicken wings. Ate it so fast never got a chance to take a pic. Salted to perfection and cut in a certain way I've never seen before. Nankotsu abura, chicken cartillage with the fat on.
I nice looking restaurant that knows how to draw attention in Matsumoto, Japan
I didn't have time to eat there, but I'm definitely going to go there on my next trip to Matsumoto.
Japan Travel: Nakamachi Dstrict good old time atmosphere, Nagano, Japan
Japan Travel: Nakamachi District good old time atmosphere, Nagano, Japan
【★027★Nagano Matsumoto Nakamachi District】
Subscribe link ：
Not far from the castle, Nakamachi Dstrict (Nakamachi-dōri) is an atmospheric street lined by several nicely preserved, old buildings, including a number of warehouse-type buildings (kura) with massive, white painted walls, a remnant from former merchant districts. Some of them house small shops, restaurants and ryokan.
Access info.
Nakamachi is a 5-10 minute walk from Matsumoto Castle and a 10-15 minute walk from Matsumoto station.
