Top 10 Historic Sites in Matsumoto, Chubu

May 22, 2021 Brain Ambrose

The proud black “crow castle” of Matsumoto keeps watch over a city that’s rapidly developing into an epicenter of food and culture. Slurp noodles made from local soba or taunt your taste buds with product from the Daio Wasabi Farm. Take a soothing soak in a local hot spring or spend a few minutes in the Timepiece Museum. Classical music fans should consider a visit during the Saito Kinen Festival Matsumoto, founded by famed conductor Seiji Ozawa.

Kaichi Gakko Primary School

Reviewed By PeterthePauper - Ulsan, South Korea

The Former Kaichi School was founded in 1873, Construction was completed in 1876 and it served as a functional school for 90-years until 1963. Having been designated an important cultural asset in 1961, the wooden building was painstakingly dismantled and moved from its' original location in 1963/1964 and rebuilt in its current location. When I learnt that the building had been reconstructed, my first thought was that perhaps the building had been "over-embellished" in the process of restoration, but having seen photographs of the school in its' original location, I can see that this is not the case. In its' original location adjacent to the Metoba River, the equally grandiose building was surrounded by other adjoining buildings in 1963; at least in its' current location the beauty and subtle details of the building can be admired from a proper distance. Having commenced my own elementary school education over 60-years ago in the UK, the period classroom layouts invoked many happy memories!

Yohashira Shrine

Reviewed By OldGirlTravels - London, United Kingdom

All the maple leaves were changing colour when we visited, and the shrine was a technicolour riot of beauty. It's definitely one of the most Instagrammable places in Japan.

Nakamachi Kurassic-kan

The Kurassic-kan buildings were part of a nearby sake (rice wine) brewery built in 1888. They were refurbished and moved to the current location. Now the main building is a symbol of the Nakamachi Street, a popular street in Matsumoto, and used as a rental space for exhibitions, events, tea ceremony lessons, flower arrangement lessons and more. Next to the main building is a tearoom and cafe.
