The unique small town spirit of Matsumoto City flourishes here among the row of tiny craft stores, groceries, food stands and casual eateries. It is also a pedestrian street free of vehicles, something quite rare in Japan and more reminiscent of an old European street where one might find many walk-up shops and cafes.

With over 400 years of history, Matsumoto Castle is 1 of only 5 castles designated a “National Treasure” of Japan. The other 4 include Himeji, Hikone, Inuyama and Matsue Castles.
