 Stunning views of
Matsumoto Castle. by worldkiwi
You need to take your shoes off when you enter the castle and can carry them around with you in a supplied plastic bag.
The castle contains displays of artifacts and information about Matsumoto-jo's history. The views from the top floor are excellent in Matsumoto's clear mountain air. The moon viewing pavilion is the last room you pass through on the route through the castle and is a relatively recent addition to the castle.
Be warned that some of the stairways in the castle are very steep and narrow - more like ladders really. Elderly people will find these very difficult to navigate.
The castle is very photogenic from the south and west sides, in particular. Leave a Comment Directions: From the JR Matsumoto station, it is about a 15 minute walk to the castle. Walk down Agatanomori Street and then turn left into Honmachi Street and follow this all the way across the river and up Daimyocho Street.

Ukiyoe Museum.. JUM or the Japan Ukiyoe Museum is a really ulgy building that the brochures call modern which houses some very beautiful woodblock prints. Basically it’s the Sakai family’s collection (they were the second richest merchants in the area) of prints. The curator is also the lecturer and family member. The slideshow presentation makes some interesting arguments about Japanese heritage!! The main room houses a rotating collection of prints, but head towards the bathroom to see the really interesting pieces.
The everyday life scenes were very interesting – especially the women fighting in the bathhouse! I also got to see some of Hokusai’s famous 36 Views of Fuji series. Leave a Comment Address: Take a taxi there, it’s a long walk!!

An onsen is the Japanese word for Mineral Spa. It is a popular thing to do in Japan and Matusmoto is lucky enough to have natural spas in the Asama area. Leave a Comment Directions: The Asama Onsen area is just east of the Matsumoto city centre. There are a few hotels and public onsens in the area. I went to the Asama Hot Spa which cost us 800 yen.Other Contact: There are buses from Matsumoto S
