乾小天守

Small and cute

Matsumoto Castle was the best national treasure.

Kotenshou is attached to the side, setting off the beauty of Matsumoto Castle

Pretty small I'm not familiar with it, so I'm not very interested

Tsukimi tower was added to welcome Tokugawa Iemitsu during the Edo period. No armament because it was contracted during the warless Edo period. Matsumoto Castle is connected to the castle tower. As a result, Iemitsu did not visit. Winter is cold and windy. Still, the city seen from the tower is beautiful. What does the moon look like from here? I want to see the moon.

A black castle that is said to be a crow castle, wonderful ?

National treasure Matsumoto Castle The only existing five-storied castle tower is here and Himeji Castle. The Inui Kotenshu was built at the time of its construction and is 400 years old. It is closed to the public due to problems with earthquake resistance. The castle tower looks fivefold from the outside, but the inside is on the sixth floor. The castle tower is on the 6th floor, and the ceiling is firmly assembled with girders. A god called Twenty-six Night God is enshrined in the center of the ceiling. On the 4th floor, there is a castle owner in the style of Shoin. The Tsukimi turret, which continues next to the castle tower, has a stairwell on three sides and has a red-painted rim. It is said that this is the only Tsukimi turret that was built to coincide with the visit of the 3rd Shogun Iemitsu and is attached to the castle tower. The successive lords of the Matsumoto clan are the Ishikawa, Ogasawara, Toda, Matsudaira, Hotta, Mizuno, and Ishikawa families. You can only enter the castle tower from the black gate, so if you want to enter from the parking lot in a short distance, it is better to choose the parking lot on the south side. The Municipal Kaichi Parking Lot on the north side is large, easy to park, and relatively inexpensive. It is necessary to go around the outside of the castle halfway before entering, but it is not bad because there are photo spots. The castle park is flat, so it is easy for the elderly and children to visit, but the castle tower is narrow and the stairs are quite steep, making it difficult for people with weak legs. The number of visitors is restricted because it is already small and the corona support overlaps. Also, since the entrance and exit are different, you will have to carry your shoes in a plastic bag.

Northwest Smaller Tower About Matsumoto Castle, a national treasure Matsumoto Castle started with Fukashi Castle, which was built during the Eisho period during the Warring States period. It is the oldest national treasure castle in Japan among the existing five-story and six-story castle towers. The contrast between black and white shines in the mountains of the Alps, creating a stunning landscape.
