  • Matsumoto Castle is the pride and joy of Matsumoto. Being the oldest intact castle in Japan and having black color scheme (unique among Japanese castles), it is a must see if you are in the area. My recommendation is to check out the castle in 3 parts:
    1) Explore Matsumoto Castle Park. It's the free area outside the castle that is always open. I've walked around the castle many times and each time I see something new and amazing. It's also a great place to meet with friends, eat your lunch, or read a book.
    2) Go into the Castle Grounds, explore its gardens, and go inside the castle. Find the English tours put on by passionate Alps Language Service Association volunteers. Then, of course, gets some gifts in the gift shop.
    3) Go back there at sun-set with some food, drinks, and friends, and enjoy the castle lit up with spotlights. It's lit until 10pm every night!
    Highlights:
    - Learning about the history of Matsumoto Castle (there is so much more than I could mention in my video!)
    - Getting a photo of yourself with the red bridge and the castle in the same shot
    - All the great events held there all year! Info on events is here: goo.gl/9Q1W1e

    It's also exactly how a castle looked during the Sengoku Jidai, a majority of castles of the time, unlike Himeji and others, were painted almost entirely black. Had something to do with how black paint was very expensive at the time and only those who could afford to paint their fortresses in this color would do so.

    Watching Shogun with Richard Chamberlain right now. I've read the book three times. One of my all time favorite novel by James Clavell. And one of the greatest novels ever written. I've read Tai-Pan and most of his other great novels. I'm looking at Amazon and apparently there are a few I haven't read.

      And by the way, replies to my comments are rare in the extreme except for the idiots who for some mysterious reason are allowed past the New Nazis massive shadow banning and censoring on Google/CZcams and Fakebook.
      And lastly; What the fuck does Fakebook have to do with anything? Have you even READ James Clavell?

    Please, pronounce the T properly. It sounds awful when you say "Matsumoro" with a rolling R.

    • @DiscoveryMakesKnowledge
      @DiscoveryMakesKnowledge  Před rokem +1

      Since this wasn’t for Japanese audiences, I slipped into my American accent. We pronounce “t” in words like Toyota, Toto (the dog from Wizard of Oz), and auto like “Toyoda,” “Todo,” and “audo.” Thanks for putting up with it!
