Matsumoto

We visited Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture.  It has a famous castle.  Ariel & I like the Japanese business hotels.  They're small, comfy, and cheap, with all the amenities we need.  Ariel gets a good rest before sightseeing.

Nobody lived there.  It was just for show and shooting (and stoning anyone who tried to climb up), as far as I could tell.

 Ariel had a peaceful time, though.  She liked seeing pigeons and fish.  We also met lots of other tourists, including some from China and Thailand.  We had a picnic lunch.


Our volunteer tour guide, Yuki, took this photo.  She took us on a short tour inside the castle.
