Why Matsumoto Is One of Japan’s Most Underrated Cities | Castles, Temples & Art in the Japanese Alps

Matsumoto is one of Japan’s most beautiful mountain cities, sitting at the edge of the Japanese Alps – it’s definitely not somewhere to miss!!
In this video, we explore Matsumoto after travelling from Kyoto, our final stop before we move to Nozawa Onsen to work for the season!! Eeeeek — Before that were wandering temples, visiting the famous Matsumoto Castle, discovering art by Yayoi Kusama, and soaking up the quiet charm of autumn in the mountains in Toyota where the blossom and autumn leaves meet each other?! Blossom in autumn, it’s possible 👀🌸

If you’re planning a trip to Japan and want to experience somewhere beyond Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, Matsumoto might surprise you!! It quickly turned into one of our favourite places in Japan & we keep coming back🐸🗻
