Things to do in Matsumoto Castle Park

fast and easy access for the selected slot! there’s special line for e-ticket too just next to normal ticket line!

the tour guide explain in good english. the place is very recommended coz its so beautiful. the tour went very smooth until the end

It is about 15 minutes from Matsumoto Station. It is within walking distance. We toured inside Matsumoto Castle. There were some steep stairs along the way, so be careful. You can get a panoramic view of Matsumoto city from the castle tower. I enjoyed it while thinking about the history of the past.

This time I used my mobile phone to buy an electronic ticket on Klook, which was very convenient! There was almost no need to wait, and I bought and used it immediately. Matsumoto Castle separated physical tickets and electronic tickets into different channels, which was clear. Like it 👍

the tour guide which is the owner of the factory speaks very good english and is very clear in his explantion. the food served was delicious. definitely recommend to any one who likes to know more about miso and taste the food

The natural scenery is very beautiful and natural, the air is cool, the water is clear... the best time to go to Kamikochi is summer.

This is the most scenic place I've been. The weather was just nice for a leisurely hike. Temperature hovers around 18 degree celsius in early June and I didn't even break a sweat throughout the 3hrs hike. For those who wants to visit the Myojin shrine from the starting point at Taisho pond, do hasten your pace as there will just be enough time to finish the route back to to the bus terminal, without much time for lunch. For those who just want to take it easy, its recommended to stop at Kappa bridge which takes about 1.5h from starting point. Most of the scenic spots are from Taisho to Kappa bridge. It's the one place that you'll want to visit in every season.

the tour itself is free (pls see my third photo), but this is still value for money because 1) really good purchases (500g 3-yr miso), limited edition apron and t-shirts) and 2) a really good and hearty lunch which needs to reserved in advance rather than on the spot. the guide is the fourth generation owner who can explain well in English. the price is reasonable. highly recommended.
