1. Matsumoto Castle is one of Japan’s most iconic original castles and a National Treasure famous for its dramatic black exterior, beautiful moat scenery, and remarkably well-preserved wooden keep. Beyond its striking appearance, the castle offers a deeper story through its connected keep system and the details hidden inside the Honmaru grounds, where legends, stonework, and architectural ingenuity come together. Walking through the towers and reaching the top floor reveals both the power of the fortress and the refined craftsmanship that shaped it.

2. The Former Kaichi School is a National Treasure and one of Matsumoto’s most important Meiji-era landmarks. Built in 1876, it is known for its distinctive giyōfū style, a unique blend of Western-looking design and traditional Japanese carpentry. As one of Japan’s early modern school buildings, it offers a fascinating look at how education, architecture, and local society changed after the Meiji Restoration.

About Matsumoto

Matsumoto is a Japan Alps city in Nagano Prefecture, with a black-walled castle, Edo-period merchant streets and the mountain valley of Kamikochi nearby.

Matsumoto sits in a high basin ringed by the Northern Japan Alps, in the middle of Honshu. Matsumoto Castle, called Crow Castle for its black walls, dates from the late sixteenth century and is one of the few castles to survive with its original keep, a national treasure reflected in a moat. The old merchant street of Nakamachi has white-and-black storehouses, and the Old Kaichi School, an 1876 Western-style schoolhouse, is also a national treasure.
