Matsumoto Castle
Must TryOutside Tokyo · Matsumoto City
Matsumoto Castle in Nagano is one of Japan's few surviving original castles, its striking black-and-white keep — nicknamed the "Crow Castle" — mirrored in a moat against the Alps. You can climb the steep original interior. It's a longer day or overnight from Tokyo, lovely with spring cherry blossom or autumn colour.
