Walking to the castle, I saw a small building with a table in front and a sign offering free tours in English.
Matsumoto is one of the 12 original castles.
Since the pandemic, the volunteer guides have not been able to guide inside the castle, so we said goodbye before I entered the castle. Mitsuto san was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide.
I visited Matsumoto Castle in 2018, and posted pictures of the inside of the castle then. Check it out of you are interested in seeing the inside. When I visited in 2018, the entry ticket was 610 yen. Now it is 1300 yen!
Information about the castle can be found online here.
I visited Matsumoto last March. It was a lovely place to stay and the castle looked extra special in the night. I really liked the frog street too, so sweet.
This castle is a jewel! It looks extra good against the blue sky and the elegant New Year's kaddomatsu ornaments by the gate. Like all other prices in Japan, the entry fee has increased, too.
