Matsumoto Castle ปราสาทอีกาดำแห่งนากาโนะ🏯🖤

✨One of Japan's oldest and most beautiful castles, Matsumoto Castle, is located in the heart of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. Its striking black exterior contrasts with the sky and the Japanese Alps behind, earning it the nickname "Crow Castle."

🌳 The surrounding atmosphere is tranquil and classic, with ponds surrounding it and lush Japanese-style gardens. A unique red bridge leads to the castle. Inside the castle, you can climb to the top floor for 360-degree views of Matsumoto City and admire antiques such as weapons, swords, and authentic samurai armor.
