Matsumoto castle

I'm intoxicated with contest in Meijo and Sakura where Matsumoto takes pride.

Sakura where the "Matsumoto castle" which can enjoy the various scenery in each season is about 300 when then spring comes, blooms. The kind of cherry trees is 4 kinds, a Someiyoshino cherry tree, a double flowering cherry tree, an early-flowering cherry tree and a weeping cherry tree. It's possible to enjoy the respective cherry trees at an inner citadel garden, a Matsumoto castle park and a general trench.
The weeping cherry tree by which the one which is also recommended at the inside is called "cherry tree of piece link". It's the spot very popular as the ideal location of which you can take a picture according to Tenshu where I dominate a background in the north side in the garden.

A light up event "corridor of Sakura Ko Namiki" and "cherry blossoms by night meeting" will be held from 3 days later of a bloom declaration of a cherry tree, and you can merge with a light up of a Matsumoto castle and enjoy gorgeous cherry blossoms by night.
A light up in Sakuranamiki in an outer moat located in the Matsumoto Johoku east side is beautiful and is highlights in particular. A flower viewing dumpling is sold during a period.
