Nawate Dori

#Visa-Free Travel Matsumoto City attractions, ancient walking street area 🐸 Ancient walking street, Nawate, Matsumoto City ✨ Nawate-dori Street in Matsumoto City is like going back in time to experience the atmosphere of Japan in the past. With its small walking street parallel to the Metoba River, it has a very charming atmosphere. ✨ The houses and shops still maintain their original architecture very well. Walking on the brick-paved streets makes you feel like you have stepped into a period drama. ✨ The prominent symbol of Nawate Street is the frog statue and many frog-patterned decorations. There is a story that in the past, frogs lived in this area. In addition, the word "kaeru" (frog) in Japanese sounds like the word for "return", making frogs a symbol of welcome and good fortune. The shops are full of unique and interesting shops, such as old-fashioned sweet shops, handicraft shops, cute souvenir shops, especially frog-themed products, local restaurants, and cafes with a nice atmosphere. ✨Best time to visit: 10:00-16:00 📍Address: Nawate Dori Matsumoto Nagano Japan #japantrip #matsumoto #matsumoto #traveljapan
