🇯🇵Japan Nagano - Matsumoto Castle, a national treasure

#100WaysToTravel Matsumoto Castle🏯 is located in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It was built in the 1590s and is one of the few surviving five-story and six-story castle towers. Matsumoto Castle is known as the "Black Castle" for its black and white appearance and is famous for its beautiful moat and red bridge. As a defensive flat castle, it has shooting holes, hidden stairs and traps, etc., reflecting the architectural features of the Warring States Period. You can climb the stairs in the city, and when you reach the highest floor you can overlook the distant scenery, but the stairs are far apart, so you need to be careful when climbing.
