[2025 Matsusaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Matsusaka Castle Ruins (Updated May)

#Spring0yenTrip Matsusaka was a relaxing town where you could enjoy history and delicious food. A short walk from the station, the ruins of Matsusaka Castle spread out before you, and the quiet atmosphere soothed my heart. The castle ruins are not very large, but the surrounding greenery and scenery are beautiful, and I was able to feel the history while walking around. In addition, Matsusaka is also home to the remains of samurai residences, and there are places scattered around that give you a sense of the townscape of the time. In this area, which still retains the appearance of a castle town, you can experience the atmosphere of the samurai residences and townhouses of the time. And when you think of Matsusaka, you think of Matsusaka beef. The Matsusaka beef steak I had at a local restaurant was so tender that it melted in my mouth, and the flavor of the meat was so strong that it was an unforgettable taste. Also, although Motoori Norinaga's old house no longer remains, it was a place where you could feel that it was the place where he walked. Matsusaka was a relaxing town where historical charm and delicious food were in harmony.

I went to the "Matsusaka Castle Ruins" in Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture (((((((っ･ω･)っ There are no buildings, but the magnificent stone walls remain, and it is a nationally designated historic site and has been certified as one of Japan's 100 Great Castles (ᵕᴗᵕ ) Hmmmm The stone walls are stacked up so high that you can see the whole of Matsusaka city from the top✿ﾟ❀.(*´▽`*)❀.ﾟ✿ The stone walls are like a maze, so it's hard to find your way and you get lostꉂꉂ(>ᗜ<*) I wonder if it's a way to prevent enemies from invading? There are 300 cherry blossoms blooming on top of the stone walls, and they're really beautiful(〃艸〃)♡ You can enjoy the charming scenery of the stone walls and cherry blossoms♡ｷｬｯ(∀〃(〃∀)ｷｬﾂ♡ You can only see the stone walls and cherry blossoms at the castle ruins, right∑d(≧▽≦*) 🏍Matsusaka Castle Ruins🏍 Address: 1538-1 Tonomachi, Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture Cherry Blossom Festival: Late March to early April #tourism #shinobichan

\\Tourist Spots// The Matsusaka Castle Ruins, one of the "100 Great Castles in Japan," is now a park where you can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. The castle tower and main citadel no longer remain, but the impressive stone walls were worth seeing. The view from the castle tower ruins was very beautiful. When I visited on October 23rd, the leaves were starting to change color little by little. It looks like it will be a while until the best viewing time. ☆ About 15 minutes on foot from JR Matsusaka Station or Kintetsu Matsusaka Station Information as of October 2022. #Breathtaking views #Historical sites #Castle tours #Castles #100 Great Castles in Japan #Forest bathing #Autumn leaves viewing #Gourmet #Matsusaka City #Autumn leaves spots #Trip to Mie #Autumn trip
