Matsumoto Castle

in #photos • 8 years ago

Matsumoto Castle is located in Matsumoto City of Nagano Prefecture, and is one of Japan's more renowned historic castle sites, and a designated national treasure of the country.

It has also been called "Crow Castle" by citizens (both back then and now) due to its black exterior and design, though this name has never been documented in literature.

[Camera Details: Nikon D700 + AF 35mm f/2D]

      I'm glad you enjoyed the picture!
      Matsumoto city is not too far from Tokyo - it's about 2 hours by train from central Tokyo, so it's possible to do a day trip here (though I would recommend staying for a night to really enjoy the sights in this city!)
