Matsumoto, in central Nagano prefecture, is home to one of Japan’s nicest castles. ‘Mastumoto-jo’ is known as the Crow castle because of its black walls. Totally original, the donjon is 5 stories high and the inner moat and walls remain intact. During the spring, the park surrounding the castle is overrun with young people reveling in the new cherry blossoms.
Matsumoto is Nagano’s second largest city and an excellent base for exploring the Japaneses Alps, either in winter for skiing and snowboarding, or in the summer for hiking and camping. [edit text][editors]
