Q: Can you see Matsumoto Castle from your room?
A: There are a few rooms from which you can see Matsumoto Castle. There is also a terrace deck in the annex building where you can see the mountains from the Northern Alps and Matsumoto Castle during the afternoon. Additionally, Matsumoto Castle’s tower is lit up until 22:00 throughout the year, wherein the castle stands out in the darkness, so we recommend taking a look at different times.
Q: What kinds of goods does the hotel shop sell?
A: Our shop has a selection of products that we hope you’d like to take home as a souvenir, such as traditional crafts, the techniques of which have been passed down for generations, like Matsumoto temari or daruma, or modern glassware that combines glass and lacquerware made by craft artisans.

Nawate Street
A shopping avenue a short three-minute walk from Matsumoto Castle.
Named from the rope (‘Mizu Nawate’) strung around the outer edge of the castle moat at the time of its construction. It was originally a bank facing the castle but in the 20th year of the Meji era, shops popped up along the bank and in the 12th year of Hesei it became the site of the kajika frog festival celebrating the frogs that were said to be plentiful along the Metoba river in Matsumoto. Because traffic on the road is limited to pedestrians, it is very crowded with tourists on the weekends.
Nakamachi Street
Nakamachi street runs west to east along the Zenkoji road and flourished as wholesale sake brewing and clothing shops gathered on the street. However, in the late Edo period and Meiji era the southern Fukashi area suffered fires that destroyed many homes and shops. In order to provide protection from repeated fires, the craftsmen of the area used ‘Namako’ tile and plaster walls and the classic and characteristic black and white concrete-like designed ‘Namako’ walls can still today be seen in this middle town area of Matsumoto.
