Matsumoto Castle Signs for Sign2

 


No signs here just a facade.


The garden surrounding Matsumoto Castle is called Ninomaru Garden


The sign says "Middle bridge"

Matsumoto Castle, known as the "Crow Castle" for its striking black exterior, captivated me with its dramatic color and imposing beauty. The castle's design is truly remarkable, as it is built entirely of wood without the use of nails, a technique that highlights the skill and craftsmanship of its builders. Set against the serene backdrop of the Japanese Alps, the surrounding park adds to the castle’s allure, with its peaceful ponds and vibrant seasonal blooms. The combination of the castle's dark, bold presence and the tranquil park makes it an unforgettable sight.

    1. I realise it is good to go down memory lane too. Good to organise the shots through blog posting

  2. Without the use of nails? Against the serene backdrop of the Japanese Alps? I think the architects put as much thought into the environment as they put into the structure. The seasonal blooms also add colour and freshness.

  3. It is gorgeous! I saw a T.V. show about this style of architecture. The style is not only for beauty, but it resists earthquakes.

  11. La diferencia cultural con Europa y España en particular es evidente no solo en el castillo en si. también en su entorno.
