松本城は日本に現存する数少ない国宝天守のひとつ。黒漆塗りの外観は「烏城」とも呼ばれ、青空や北アルプスを背景にした姿は圧巻です。内部は急な木造階段を登りながら武具や歴史資料を見学でき、戦国時代の雰囲気を体感できます。春は桜、夏は新緑、秋は紅葉、冬は雪景色と、四季ごとに違う美しさを楽しめるのも魅力。松本駅から徒歩圏内でアクセスも便利です。
Matsumoto Castle is one of Japan’s few original castles designated as a National Treasure. Known as the “Crow Castle” for its black lacquered exterior, it stands majestically against the backdrop of the Northern Alps. Inside, visitors climb steep wooden stairs while exploring armor and historical exhibits, experiencing the atmosphere of the samurai era. Cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, colorful foliage in autumn, and snow in winter make it beautiful year-round. Easily accessible on foot from Matsumoto Station.
