Matsumoto Castle is located in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, and is a castle with a five-story, six-story castle tower that still exists in Japan. It is designated as a national treasure and was built from the end of the Sengoku period to the early Edo period. It is also called “Crow Castle” because of its black-painted exterior, and is characterized by its beautiful appearance surrounded by moats and stone walls. Many tourists visit the castle because of its historical value and beautiful scenery.
Many tourists visit Matsumoto Castle throughout the year. It is crowded during the cherry blossom season (around mid-April), the autumn leaves season (around late October to early November), Golden Week, and the Obon holiday period.
At night, the castle tower and the area around Kuromon Gate are beautifully lit up, creating a completely different and fantastical appearance from the daytime. Matsumoto Castle, illuminated under the moonlight, is breathtakingly beautiful. Depending on the season, special illumination events are held, so we recommend checking the official website for information before visiting.
