See the old samurai fortress

See the old samurai fortress, walk on the chic 🐸 Frog Street in Matsumoto (Matsumoto) Nagano Prefecture, Chubu Region . Matsumoto (松本) is an old fortress town full of beautiful natural attractions such as Kamikochi, the Japan Alps route and the old city atmosphere of the samurai era and many sacred shrines. There is an important landmark which is the Black Castle or Matsumoto Castle which is registered as one of the 5 oldest Japanese national treasures. It is suitable for finding a kimono to wear and take pictures or as a base to stop by before stopping at the natural attractions with mountain views in particular. . I recommend visiting during the red leaves and spring for a unique and impressive atmosphere. If you travel from central Tokyo, it will take about 2 and a half hours. It's a great place to stop by and relax. . 📌Places to visit in Matsumoto ・Kamikochi ・Matsumoto Castle ・Nakamachi Street ・Taisho Pond ・Kasamori Inari Daimyojin Shrine ・Matsumoto Shrine ・Fukashi Shrine ・Yohashira Shrine ・Matsumoto Timepiece Museum ・Nawate Street ・Mt.
