July 2009: Matsumoto, Japan

Matsumoto city is the gateway to the Japan Alps. With quite a number of trains to safely take me back down to Chiba before the last train of the day, I took a quick spin of the place. The Matsumoto Castle keeps coming up every time I flip through a Japan travel guidebook. It isn't really that majestic, but it was definitely handsome.

The bright red bridge spans the surrounding moat, in which the clear water reflects the towers of the castle.
