Matsumoto

Matsumoto, with its castle town streets reminiscent of the national treasure Matsumoto Castle at its center, is full of nostalgic atmosphere in its shopping streets lined with historic buildings, and is also full of walking spots that will enhance your travel mood, such as unique cafes, general stores, long-established bakeries, and specialty soba noodles.
The trip will be even more fulfilling if you plan your trip based on the sights and purposes of each season, such as admiring the cherry blossoms and fresh greenery in the hot spring, fireworks displays and festivals in the summer, visiting art museums in the autumn, and skiing and hot springs in the winter.
