Matsumoto Castle

松本城

Matsumoto Castle is presented on its official site as a National Treasure castle in Matsumoto City, Nagano. Pages introduce the tenshu and its structure, the Kuro-mon and Taiko-mon gates, the Honmaru and Ninomaru palace sites, and the castle’s history. Matsumoto City is pursuing World Heritage registration for the National Treasure castle to advance cultural creation and city planning. On April 1, 2026, Matsumoto City formed a sister-castle partnership with France’s Château de Chambord, linking shared natural, cultural, and artistic assets to raise each region’s appeal.
