Matsumoto and its Grand Castle

28-Dec-2010 • Matsumoto Japan

In all our travels to Japan, visits to castles has been a must do for us, that is, if ever the city we visit has one.  We have been to Himeji, Japan's most famous castle.  Osaka's and Hiroshima's were very nice too.  But my most favorite among the Japanese castles is the one in Matsumoto.  It is simple yet grand and elegant.  Just take a look.

Matusumoto Castle, my favorite

What can this be? A scare crow in the middle of a park in Matsumoto?
