Very beautiful castle, especially with cherry blossom trees in full bloom
Matsumoto Castle was built during the Warring States Period in the 1500s as a residence for military commanders. The exterior is a five-story building and the interior is a six-story building. There are only two such architectural styles in Japan, Matsumoto Castle and Himeji Castle. The black lacquered outer wall is also very beautiful and is a precious national treasure of Japan.

Tsumago-juku is located in Kiso County, Nagano Prefecture, central Japan. It is one of the 69 post stations on the Nakasendo Road, and is ranked 42nd from Edo (Tokyo). The Nakasendo Road is a road connecting Edo and Kyoto, and the so-called "post stations" are the post stations along the way. Tsumago-juku was once a transportation hub and was bustling, but it gradually declined due to the construction of railways in the Meiji period. In the Showa period, Japan launched a movement to protect ancient buildings, and Tsumago-juku was fortunately preserved. Today, walking in the post station, you will feel like you have returned to the Edo period.
It took half an hour to drive from Magome to the extremely quiet mountain village. We were the only ones on the street. It was really hard to find a Japanese local who was very enthusiastic about serving us. We wandered around. It was interesting to experience the original appearance of the mountain village in the Edo period.

It's not bad. You can go around. There are other attractions nearby, all around the lake. Nice place. There are some ski resorts around. If you are tired, you can stay in the hot spring hotel here at night. It's very comfortable.
The lakeside is rich in natural scenery and well maintained. You can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery while walking or jogging. The most recommended thing is to take a tour boat around the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains from the lake.
