Kimono are an integral part of Japanese culture, worn for many occasions including the centuries old tradition of “sado” (tea ceremony). Visitors to Matsumoto can experience both in combination with a tour of Matsumoto Castle – one of Japan’s few remaining original castles and a registered National Treasure.
Kimono are available in range of colours and patterns with the selection changing to match each season. Dressed in a traditional kimono, Matsumoto Castle’s and local Japanese Gardens architecture offers the perfect background to capture some of your favorite photos while in Japan! And in doing so, you will step back in time and discover even more about Matsumoto and the castle itself.
