The setting for this episode is... Matsumoto Castle, a national treasure and symbol of Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture! (Finally here! (lol)) This castle was the first one I visited when I first came to Japan, and it is a historical building that holds many memories for me. What kind of castle is Matsumoto Castle, who built it, and what makes it different from other castles? I will take you on a journey to learn about Matsumoto Castle! ▼National Treasure Matsumoto Castlehttps://www.matsumoto-castle.jp/ Access: <Train> Get off at JR Shinonoi Line "Matsumoto Station" About 20 minutes on foot From Tokyo: JR Chuo Main Line / Shinonoi Line Limited Express Azusa About 2 hours 30 minutes Open every day except the end of the year Open 8:30-17:00 (last entrance 16:30) *Varies depending on the season Admission fee: 700 yen for adults (credit cards accepted!) *To everyone I have created this video by referring to various documents, studying carefully, and considering the credibility of the information as much as possible, but the history is being clarified day by day.
