Matsumoto Discovery, full day

The town of Matsumoto, in the centre of Nagano Prefecture, is a town where history and modernity are combined in an urban and rural atmosphere.

Matsumoto, the town and its castle

Surrounded by both the Japanese Alps and rich, unspoiled nature, this is an essential stopover in the heart of Japan, nestled between Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Takayama. Don't miss its magnificent castle, which is a listed historical monument and part of the national cultural heritage. It is the oldest castle with a 5-storey dungeon.

Also in Matsumoto, the Museum of Japanese Prints contains the largest private collection of Ukiyo-e in the world, as well as an open-air work by Yayoi Kusama, an internationally renowned artist born in Matsumoto. With your guide, explore the many attractions in and around Matsumoto and discover the Japanese hinterland, just a few hours away from the major cities.
