  1. Matsumoto is very popular in Japan, all the English text books had conversations for the students to practice about travel and it was ALWAYS to Matsumoto! Beautifully shot as always Jack!

  2. Oh wow you visited Matsumoto too?! I was there a few years ago, the castle really is such a gorgeous piece of architecture and looks amazing with some snowy mountains in the background!

  3. Bro this place looks amazing. I'm sure if I've even seen Abroad in Japan do a city dive into it. I love seeing more videos of Japan than just Tokyo and Kyoto and Osaka. The cherry blossoms in bloom, dear God! The historical structures and the history surrounding them. Always appreciate your exposition. That Castle looks so epic. Lol who knew Alfred Hitchcocks movie, "The Birds" would come to life in Japan and happen to your friend 😂.

  4. It's absolutely stunning there! I've avoided going to Japan because I don't do well in crowded spaces, but this shows that there is open space there.

  5. As someone whose been living in matsumoto for over 7 yrs and counting, I really do love this city. The weather is great, the air is fresh….and lots of amazing food (which is bests to reach by car), and plenty of outdoor activity to try and places to explore.
