[2025 Nagano Attraction] Travel Guide for Matsushirojō Castle Ruins (Updated Mar)

Visiting Matsushiro Castle in winter is like stepping into a peaceful, snow-draped dream. The castle ruins, dusted in white, exude a quiet elegance that transports you back in time. The moat, partially frozen, mirrors the bare trees standing tall against the crisp winter sky. Walking through the historic stone walls, you can feel the lingering spirit of the samurai who once roamed these grounds. The soft crunch of snow beneath your feet adds to the tranquil atmosphere, making it a perfect place for reflection. Despite the cold, the beauty of Matsushiro Castle in winter is warm and captivating—a hidden gem where history and nature intertwine in perfect harmony. #MatsushiroCastle #WinterWanderlust #SamuraiHeritage #SnowyAdventures #travelfreak

A famous historic castle that once flourished as the residence of Sanada Nobuyuki 🏯✨ Currently maintained as a castle ruin, the beautiful stone walls and restored gates give a sense of the past. In particular, the cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring, and the scenery reflected in the moat is very fantastic 🌸💖 In autumn, the colored trees are beautiful ✨ It is a perfect spot for a stroll while feeling the history in a quiet and calm atmosphere. There are plenty of attractions nearby, such as the Sanada residence and the Bunbu School! #Matsushiro Castle #Sanada Family #Nagano Tourism #Famous Cherry Blossom Spot #Historical Walk #0 Yen Travel February 2025

#2024wish The site of the Sanada family's castle. Cherry trees are planted, and the cherry blossom viewing season may be good. If you go there normally, it doesn't have that much impact. In 2023, I went twice in summer and autumn, but a large gate was under construction, so it was not good. However, there are other gates, and it's quite well made, and it's worth seeing. There is also a private house right near the castle, and I wonder if there are people who used to serve it. There were also many great houses. The museum was also worth seeing. The parking lot is wide and free, and it is close to the entrance of the highway. I think there are many history fans who take the strongest theory of Sanada, a military commander in the Sengoku period, but I am one of them. When I have something to do in Nagano City, I would like to stop by while I'm at it.

Historical town with various attractions to spend the whole day exploring on foot. Yes, on foot exploration is the best despite the distance. Take a bus from Nagano station (bus 30 for Matsushiro). It’s more worth to buy a day pass from Nagano bus station for JPY1300 which covers Zenkoji and Matsushiro. The bus ride is about 30 min. Alight at Matsushiro Eki stop and adventure starts. I want to go to Thailand this year. #2024wish
