Matsumoto Castle ~Spring~ Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
Once upon a time, there was a castle called Fukashi Castle in this place.
Although the name has changed now, there is a castle tower that rises beautifully.
Its name is "Matsumoto Castle" and it is designated as a national treasure.
During the Edo period, there were 170 castles in Japan.
However, many castles were lost due to various reasons, such as warfare, the Ordinance for Disposal of Castles, and World War II.
In Japan today, there are only 12 castle towers built before the Edo period, called the 12 existing castle towers.
These 12 castles are all designated as Important Cultural Properties under the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties, and 5 of them are designated as National Treasures.
Matsumoto Castle is one of the Five National Treasure Castles.
Perhaps the greatest attraction of Matsumoto Castle is the beauty of this castle tower.
Matsumoto Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Japan.
There are many interesting points about its origin.
Strolling around Matsumoto Castle while imagining history may be one of your pleasures.

徳川家康のもとを飛び出し、豊臣秀吉に使えた石川数正が入った城。江戸城をにらむ命令を帯びていたのか。数正は家康と示し合わせて秀吉のもとへ走ったのか。結果的に軍法が秀吉に筒抜けになった徳川家は、秀吉との徹底的な抗戦は避けて和議に入り、家康は秀吉の軍門に下る。数正は家康家臣団に心底嫌われた。
松本城はその主君数正をどう包み込んだのか。数正は息子とともに名護屋に従軍し、家康やその家臣団にも会う機会があったはず。どういう会話がなされたのか。数正の深層は松本城のみ知る。😊
