Matsumoto Castle

Built in 1592, Matsumoto Castle – The “Black Crow” – is one of four castles designated as National Treasures of Japan and the oldest castle donjon remaining in Japan.

It’s very famous in Japan and a must-see for any travellers. Inside are steep stairs and low ceilings leading past displays of armours and weapons from the Sengoku period.

It's one of the must impressive castle I've sawn in Japan, I must admit.
