I visited my hometown Matsumoto, Nagano in new year holidays and tour around the city.
If you ever plan to come to this historical and cultural city, these are the good spots I highly recommend.
・01:32 Tobira Onsen Myojinkan
The Tobira Onsen Myojinkan Hotel welcomes you to discover the secret charm. It is a marvel of comfort and beauty in the Yatsugatake National Park, a beautiful protected forest surrounded by calm mountains that offer therapeutic views. Myojinkan has been receiving visitors since 1931, who come to connect with nature and enjoy the serene environment.
・06:03 Matsumoto Castle
Matsumoto Castle is one of Japan’s premier historic castles, along with Himeji Castle and Kumamoto Castle. The building is also known as the “Crow Castle” due to its black exterior. The keep (tenshukaku), which was completed in the late sixteenth century, maintains its original wooden interiors and external stonework. It is listed as a National Treasure of Japan.
・6:44 Kaichi School
The Kaichi School was one of the first schools in Japan. It opened in a temporary building in May 1873, the year after the first major education reforms were introduced by the new Ministry of Education. In 2019 the school was designated as National Treasure of Japan.
・6:49 Matsumoto City Museum of Art
The artist Yayoi Kusama born in Matsumoto and the museum has famous giant objects of her work “The Visionary Flowers” outside of the building, and more art pieces inside.
年始に地元に帰って扉温泉明神館へ一泊、翌日に松本市街を散策し、国宝松本城や旧開智小学校、松本市美術館、縄手通りなどに行って参りました。
歴史と文化の街、松本。
機会がありましたら是非一度足を運んでみて下さい。
