 Tips about Matsumoto Castle

Matsumoto-jō Castle is a scenic and historical site, particularly renowned for its cherry blossoms and the beautiful view from the top of the castle.

What to do: Enjoy a leisurely walk around the scenic grounds, view the cherry blossoms, and explore the historical items inside the castle.
What to avoid: Be cautious of the steep stairs inside the castle and be prepared for potential lineups to go up and down.
Tips to enhance your experience: Consider bringing thick socks or indoor slippers as the wooden floors inside the castle can get cold. Engage with the free English-speaking tour guides for a more in-depth understanding of its history and features. And try to catch the special light show projected onto the castle for an added touch of beauty.
