Highlights
Discover Matsumoto on a relaxed private walking tour that blends samurai history, charming streets and local flavors.
Meet your guide at Matsumoto Station and step back in time at Matsumoto Castle, a 16th-century national treasure. Climb its wooden stairways, feel the atmosphere of the tatami-lined rooms, and enjoy panoramic views from the castle keep while hearing stories from Japan’s feudal era.
After the castle, your guide will lead you through Matsumoto’s old town. Stroll along lively Nawate Street, known as “Frog Street,” and the elegant Nakamachi district with its well-preserved kura-style merchant houses. Along the way, your guide will point out favorite snack shops and a cozy, family-run sake bar where you can sample regional specialties and sake at your own expense.
The tour finishes back in central Matsumoto, close to the station, so you can continue exploring on your own or catch your next train after a memorable afternoon in one of Japan’s most atmospheric castle towns.
