Matsumoto

After a stop over in Niigata to watch a second Zutomayo concert I made my way to Matsumoto.

The main draw of this city is its castle, one of the oldest surviving Japanese castles. Exploring the interior of the castle had many museum pieces, mainly focusing on the period where guns were first introduced into Japanese warfare. The steps into each floor got progressively more steep, I wouldn't want to be a samurai having to climb this castle.

Painted black it looks very striking, even more so at night!

My dinner for the night was more ramen, with a side of gyoza. Maybe some of the best ramen I've had so far!Okumaya devam et
