Matsumoto Castle Town Walking Tour

Discover a real feudal era castle and so much more with our local English-speaking guide!
Matsumoto is a city proud of its history and traditions - a city of living history kept alive by the preservation of its historic streets and knowledge of local residents. Our half-day Matsumoto Castle Town Walking Tour is designed to reveal the living traditions of our city by following a different route to and from the castle, and in doing so, bring the history and tradition of the famous castle town to life!

Starting from the station, your guide will lead you on a historical route to and from Matsumoto Castle that traces the steps that samurai would once have taken. After all, a direct approach to the castle was not then possible - a strategic measure to protect it from attack. In doing so, you’ll be introduced the history of Matsumoto before arriving at the castle before being taken inside by your guide. You’ll learn its history and about the samurai that once defended it, and of course the legends you’d expect of such a historic place.

After the castle, your guide will lead you onto Nawate Street – a small shopping street that once ran between the imposing moats of the castle. Today, it remains a thriving street of food vendors and small stores run by vocal merchants.

Separated by a small river, Nakamachi Street runs parallel to Nawate and another is another street that embodies the history of the city. Your guide will accompany you along the Nakamachi, introducing its many cafes, restaurants and craft stores.
