Le château de Matsumoto est l'un des cinq châteaux désignés comme «trésors nationaux du Japon» et le plus ancien donjon de château restant au Japon. La construction a commencé en 1592 de l'élégante structure noire et blanche avec ses trois tourelles. En raison des élégants murs noirs, le château de Matsumoto est parfois appelé «château du corbeau». Veuillez noter que les escaliers pour atteindre le sommet de la tour du château de Matsumoto sont raides et étroits.
Nawate Street est une rangée de petites boutiques avec un thème de grenouille subtil mais récurrent. Outre une variété de snacks, la rue regorge également de petits magasins et de souvenirs. Le sanctuaire Yohashira se trouve également sur la rue Nawate et est un endroit charmant pour s'asseoir tout en dégustant votre taiyaki ou vos craquelins de riz. N'hésitez pas à vous promener le long de Nawate Street et à profiter d'une atmosphère de village rural détendu au cœur de la ville. Ici, vous trouverez une culture et une hospitalité chaleureuses et peut-être un souvenir ou deux!
La rue Nakamachi est une zone commerçante historique connue pour ses vieux entrepôts traditionnels appelés «Kura» qui se caractérisent par leurs murs à motifs croisés en noir et blanc. Cette belle rue est également un quartier commerçant populaire parmi les habitants avec de nombreux magasins et restaurants à choisir. Vous pouvez trouver de nombreux objets artisanaux japonais, tels que la poterie, la laque et l'artisanat en bois. Nakamachi conserve cet esprit mercantile dont le repère est l'ancien «Kurassic-kan», un entrepôt de saké entièrement restauré, ouvert au public et accueillant de nombreuses activités culturelles.

Had a great tour with Keith as the guide. Very knowledgeable. Climbing inside the castle is not for the faint of heart. Very steep.

Tom was an excellent guide. He was super knowledgeable, fun and has been living in the area for a long time so he knew so much about Matsumoto. We had a wonderful time listening to his stories and he was very helpful with answering our questions and providing suggestions on where to eat in the area and in other towns we are going to visit. I can’t recommend this enough!

We had a fantastic tour in Matsumoto, probably our favorite stop from our two weeks in Japan. Being able to be shown around with our guide Naomi made it even better. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words! Matsumoto truly is a hidden gem and we’re very happy to know your time here was time well spent. We hope you will come again on your next trip to Japan!
Our guide was Keith. He gave an exceptionally good tour. Showing us Matsumoto castle and its surrounding areas. Keith provided a very well balanced documentary on the tour without bombarding us with too much information to digest. I highly recommend this tour and om sure this company will provide a great guide, whomever that may be. 5 star.
Thank you for spending time with us! We're glad your guide could guide you through Matsumoto Castle and that the tour struck the right tone. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon. Safe travels!
It was nearing the end of the busy season and I had a semi-private tour with Colin, who is a wealth of knowledge. You can tell he has a great passion for Japanese history and the region. I found the castle's history to be fascinating, and while the walk through castle itself has rather steep ascension and is not 'easy' to navigate, Colin ensured we were well taken care of. The walk around Matsumoto city was wonderful (my tour-mate had only joined for the castle), so I was able to personalize the tour with Colin which I appreciated. Matsumoto is absolutely worth seeing, and I highly recommend this tour to get your bearings and understand its history!
Thank you for your kind review! We are pleased to hear you had an enjoyable experience with your guide, and will be sure to pass your feedback to him. We also appreciate your note about having a bit of a more personalized tour. Of course, we cannot always accommodate this with larger groups, but when we can we are pleased to make the tour as enjoyable as possible for all of our guests. We hope to welcome you back to Matsumoto again in the future!
Tom was a great guide for our morning tour of Matsumoto. The castle was an obvious highlight and is arguably worth a visit to Matsumoto on its own. We enjoyed our visit to Matsumoto Castle more than any of the other more popular castles to visit in Kyoto, Osaka, or Nagoya.
Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of the tour. It’s great to hear that your visit to Matsumoto Castle left such a strong impression, especially compared to other well-known sites. Exploring the castle with a knowledgeable guide can add a layer of context that’s easy to miss otherwise. We appreciate your visit and hope the rest of your time in Japan was just as enjoyable.
