A famous castle designated as a national treasure [Matsumoto Castle]

Famous for its beautiful black and white contrast

When the sun came out, the castle tower was reflected on the water,
and the blue sky, clouds, and white combination was amazing

It has great historical value,
and the view from the castle tower is also amazing

Projection mapping is also held at night.

It is the oldest surviving five-story, six-story wooden castle tower

Only two castles, Matsumoto Castle and Himeji Castle, have a five-story external structure

Although the external structure is five stories,
the interior is six stories tall,
and security guards are stationed at various points on the stairs to limit the number of people and to warn people.

Through pillars used to make the castle taller

The view from the "Tsukimi Tower," a tower for watching the moon, is also amazing.
