DAY 01
As dusk falls, Matsumoto Castle transforms in appearance. Under the soft illumination of the night, its black lacquered walls and white plaster contrast more vividly than ever, radiating a quiet, dreamlike beauty.
Observe up close the skilled work of the craftsmen who preserve Matsumoto Castle — from lacquer restoration to the careful rebuilding of stone walls. Your guide will offer detailed explanations, revealing the dedication and craftsmanship behind the preservation of this cultural treasure.
Climbing the tower’s stairs in the quiet of night feels like walking a path back through time. From the top floor, the view of Matsumoto’s lights and the silhouette of the surrounding mountains is breathtaking beyond words.
