Matsumoto Travel Guide

Located in the middle of a wide basin about 198m (660 ft.) above sea level and surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges, Matsumoto boasts a fine feudal castle with the oldest existing keep (donjon) in Japan, as well as an outstanding woodblock-print museum. Although the city itself (pop. 202,000) is modern with little remaining from its castle days, it does boast approximately 100 storehouses (kura) scattered throughout town, built a century ago after a devastating fire destroyed most homes and businesses. Some of the kura, made of earth and straw and then painted many times to protect valuables against future flames, have been renovated into shops, restaurants, and other establishments. Read More
