Matsumoto Castle is famous for cherry blossoms. Joyama Park and the Susuki River are popular among the locals for enjoying cherry blossoms and BBQs. Mt. Kobo and Mt. Hikarujo (in Azumino City) are also popular, and there are good hiking courses among the cherry trees. Mid-April is probably the best time to see them (but it depends on the year and place). See our Cherry Blossoms page.

Can you recommend good view points to see the Japan Alps?
Besides the park and keep of Matsumoto Castle, Joyama Park, and Alps Park are good points for views of the Japan Alps. You can enjoy a spectacular view from the top point of a hiking course from Asama Hot Springs. A great, yet little-known spot downtown is a top garden of Performing Arts Center. The second floor of the Matsumoto Folkcraft Museum is a place to see the Japan Alps and grape orchards through the beautiful window. The Baba Family Residence is a good viewpoint where you can see both Mt. Yari and Mt. Hotakadake, the two highest summits of the Japan Alps.

ใช้เวลารอคิวเข้าปราสาทประมาณกี่นาที?
ปราสาทมัตสึโมโต้สามารถจุคนได้น้อยเนื่องจากพื้นที่ในปราสาทสูงชันและแคบ ในช่วงวันหยุดโดยเฉพาะช่วงโกลเด้นวีค (ประมาณ 29 เมษายน-5 พฤษภาคม) และโอบ้ง (ประมาณ 13-16 สิงหาคม) จะมีผู้คนหนาแน่นเป็นพิเศษ อาจต้องรอคิวเพื่อเข้าปราสาทตั้งแต่ 20 นาทีไปจนถึง 2 ชั่วโมง ระยะเวลารอเข้าปราสาทจะติดประกาศตรงประตูทางเข้าหลัก (ประตูคุโรมง) และมีการแจ้งในเว็บไซต์อย่างเป็นทางการเวอร์ชั่นภาษาญี่ปุ่น ช่วงเวลาที่มีผู้คนหนาแน่นคือเวลาประมาณ 10:30 – 15:00 น. เวลาเปิดให้เข้าปราสาทรอบสุดท้ายคือ 16:30 น. แต่จะขยายเวลาไปถึง 17:30 น. ในระหว่างช่วงโกลเด้นวีค ช่วงสัปดาห์ที่ 2 ของเดือนสิงหาคมและช่วงโอบ้ง ในช่วงเวลาพักเที่ยงผู้คนอาจไม่ค่อยหนาแน่นมากนัก แต่ก็ขึ้นอยู่กับปัจจัยอื่นๆ ด้วย เช่น หากมีกรุ๊ปทัวร์ขนาดใหญ่มาเยี่ยมชมก็จะมีผู้คนหนาแน่น

Le Château de Matsumoto
-
What is the wait time to enter the castle?
Matsumoto Castle has a small capacity because there are only steep and narrow steps for going up inside the keep. So it is crowded during holidays especially Golden Week (around April 29 to May 5) and Obon (around August 13 to 16). You may have to wait anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to enter the castle. The waiting time is posted outside of the castle’s main gate (kuromon) as shown in the photo and on the official Japanese website. Peak visiting hours are generally from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Last admission is 4:30 p.m., but this is pushed forward to 5:30 p.m. during Golden Week and around the second week of August and Obon. Lunch time might not be so crowded, though it depends on other factors. For instance, when a big tour group comes, it is crowded.
-
Is there anything else to do at the castle?
In addition to the castle’s museum and shop, events such as live music performances, ice sculpting, soba festivals, tea ceremonies, samurai parades, and more are held on the castle grounds on several days every month. Check out our Facebook events page or the castle’s English Event Information page for upcoming event information. You can see Ikegami Hyakuchikutei, a historical Japanese house which has a full-scale tea-ceremony room (chashitsu) with a tea garden, located just across the street on the castle’s north side. You can often see an armored samurai, a ninja, and a kimono-wearing princess (Omotenashi-tai – see more here) and take photos with them. Also, a rickshaw puller is sometimes waiting in front of the castle’s main gate to give rickshaw tours.

Can I go to Kamikochi in winter?
Kamikochi’s public facilities are completely closed in winter (Nov 16 to mid-Apr). You can only enter there on foot. You need snowshoes, other appropriate equipment, and winter hiking experience. There is a risk of avalanche, so it is recommended that you go with an experienced person or guide only when conditions are good. There are local guided tours through Kamikochi offered by companies including Little Peaks (Japanese site) in winter.
The closest place to enter Kamikochi during the winter is Sawando. You can get to Sawando from Matsumoto Station by bus. Then, take a taxi to Nakanoyu (no parking lot) and walk from there. It takes 6–8 hours for a round trip from Nakanoyu to Kappa Bridge.
Norikura Highlands and Shirahone Hot Springs near Kamikochi are open even in winter and accessible by bus. -
Can I go to Kamikochi before the opening ceremony (Apr 27)?
Yes. Facilities like the information center and some restaurants are open, but most hotels are still preparing to open. There is still some snow on the trails (due to the weather and altitude), so just be sure to have proper footwear. It is a great time to go, because it is not busy (there are few Japanese tourists, but some foreigners including those in tour groups are there).
-
Is there snow in May, June, and October in the Japan Alps?
Tall mountains (around 3,000 m) like Mt. Yari, Hotaka, and Jonen are covered with snow from around mid-October until the later part of June. There is a risk of avalanche, so it is recommended that you only climb such mountains from July through September. From April to June and from October to November, you can hike in areas lower than 3,000 m, such as Mt. Hachibuse and Utsukushigahara, even if there is snow on the trails.
-
I want to camp in Kamikochi. Should I book a spot for my tent in Konashidaira or Tokusawa-en campsites?
If you have your own tent, you don’t need to worry about booking a spot. These campsites don’t accept bookings for their free tent spots. More than several hundred tents can be pitched, and they do not fill up even in their busiest season.
Konashidaira has small rental tents and mats, but they can’t be reserved. Tokusawa-en has fixed tents and you can reserve them.
-
I want to stay in a mountain lodge (yamagoya). What kind of facilities do they provide? Should I reserve it ahead of time?
Yamagoya provide the minimum facilities and service for climbers, so you can use bedding (futon, no bed), food, and water (no shower). Usually you don’t have to book in advance, because yamagoya must accept any climber without reservation for climbers’ safety (but you should reach the yamagoya early in the afternoon: before 3 p.m. if possible, 5 p.m. at the latest).
-
Do you have any advice on a good one-day intermediate hike?
How about Mt. Yakedake, a volcano in the Japan Alps about 10 km hike from/to Kamikochi? Refer to this webpage. It is an active volcano, but less dangerous than other mountains like Mt. Asama and Ontake so you are able to climb to the top. Another suggestion is Mt. Norikura. It is at a high elevation (3,026m), but not especially difficult, because you can go up to a 2,700-meter point (Tatamidaira) by bus. It takes only 2.5 hours from/to Tatamidaira. Going down to Sanbon Fall Bus Stop (1,900 m) is a good one day hike (5.5 hr, 10 km). You can also visit our Hiking page for a more comprehensive list of hikes in the area.

Are there any multilingual hiking guides available?
Northstar’s Alpine Lodge in Norikura, where the owner and some workers are English native speakers, offer tours such as hiking in summer and snowshoeing in winter. For private guides for hire, see Guides.

How about Mt. Yakedake, a volcano in the Japan Alps about 10 km hike from/to Kamikochi? Refer to this webpage. It is an active volcano, but less dangerous than other mountains like Mt. Asama and Ontake so you are able to climb to the top. Another suggestion is Mt. Norikura. It is at a high elevation (3,026m), but not especially difficult, because you can go up to a 2,700-meter point (Tatamidaira) by bus. It takes only 2.5 hours from/to Tatamidaira. Going down to Sanbon Fall Bus Stop (1,900 m) is a good one day hike (5.5 hr, 10 km). You can also visit our Hiking page for a more comprehensive list of hikes in the area.

Are there any multilingual hiking guides available?
Northstar’s Alpine Lodge in Norikura, where the owner and some workers are English native speakers, offer tours such as hiking in summer and snowshoeing in winter. For private guides for hire, see Guides.

Can I go to Kamikochi in winter?
Kamikochi’s public facilities are completely closed in winter (Nov 16 to mid-Apr). You can only enter there on foot. You need snowshoes, other appropriate equipment, and winter hiking experience. There is a risk of avalanche, so it is recommended that you go with an experienced person or guide only when conditions are good. There are local guided tours through Kamikochi offered by companies including Little Peaks (Japanese site) in winter.
The closest place to enter Kamikochi during the winter is Sawando. You can get to Sawando from Matsumoto Station by bus. Then, take a taxi to Nakanoyu (no parking lot) and walk from there. It takes 6–8 hours for a round trip from Nakanoyu to Kappa Bridge.
Norikura Highlands and Shirahone Hot Springs near Kamikochi are open even in winter and accessible by bus. -
Can I go to Kamikochi before the opening ceremony (Apr 27)?
Yes. Facilities like the information center and some restaurants are open, but most hotels are still preparing to open. There is still some snow on the trails (due to the weather and altitude), so just be sure to have proper footwear. It is a great time to go, because it is not busy (there are few Japanese tourists, but some foreigners including those in tour groups are there).
-
Is there snow in May, June, and October in the Japan Alps?
Tall mountains (around 3,000 m) like Mt. Yari, Hotaka, and Jonen are covered with snow from around mid-October until the later part of June. There is a risk of avalanche, so it is recommended that you only climb such mountains from July through September. From April to June and from October to November, you can hike in areas lower than 3,000 m, such as Mt. Hachibuse and Utsukushigahara, even if there is snow on the trails.
-
I want to camp in Kamikochi. Should I book a spot for my tent in Konashidaira or Tokusawa-en campsites?
If you have your own tent, you don’t need to worry about booking a spot. These campsites don’t accept bookings for their free tent spots. More than several hundred tents can be pitched, and they do not fill up even in their busiest season.
Konashidaira has small rental tents and mats, but they can’t be reserved. Tokusawa-en has fixed tents and you can reserve them.
-
I want to stay in a mountain lodge (yamagoya). What kind of facilities do they provide? Should I reserve it ahead of time?
Yamagoya provide the minimum facilities and service for climbers, so you can use bedding (futon, no bed), food, and water (no shower). Usually you don’t have to book in advance, because yamagoya must accept any climber without reservation for climbers’ safety (but you should reach the yamagoya early in the afternoon: before 3 p.m. if possible, 5 p.m. at the latest).

Транспорт и маршруты– Kamikochi, Shin-Hotaka и Takayama
-
Is it possible to take a bus to Kamikochi, go for a walk, and get to Takayama in one day?
Yes, depending on your schedule. We suggest that you check the bus timetables and plan your schedule accordingly. In Kamikochi, the most popular hiking course from Kappa Bridge to Taisho Pond takes around 2 hours round trip. Sightseeing buses can bring you straight to the Kamikochi Bus Terminal near the bridge. Getting off a bus at Taisho Pond, hiking to Kappa Bridge, taking a bus from the Bus Terminal to Hirayu Onsen, then transferring to a bus to Takayama is the quickest trip.
See timetable for Matsumoto to Kamikochi.
See timetable for Hirayu Onsen/Takayama buses. -
How can I access Takayama from Matsumoto?
There is an express bus. See Alpico website’s Matsumoto-Takayama/Shin-Hotaka page for details about buses. Fare costs ¥3,190 one way and ¥5,660 round trip. Children’s tickets are half price. The Alpico Bus Company also sells Shinshu–Hida Alps Wide Free Passport, a 4-day unlimited ride ticket for buses running between Matsumoto, Kamikochi/Norikura, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and some other places in Gifu. It might be convenient and cheap if you travel to those areas.
-
How can I access Shin-Hotaka from Matsumoto?
There are two direct buses a day only during peak season (mid-April to mid-May, mid-July to mid-August, and around New Year’s Day). For other days, take a bus from Matsumoto Bus Terminal to Hirayu Onsen and transfer to a Nohi Bus there.
See Alpico Bus Timetable and Nohi Bus Timetable. -

Is it possible to take a bus to Kamikochi, go for a walk, and get to Takayama in one day?

Sightseeing & Activities

Can you recommend good view points to see the Japan Alps?
Besides the park and keep of Matsumoto Castle, Joyama Park, and Alps Park are good points for views of the Japan Alps. You can enjoy a spectacular view from the top point of a hiking course from Asama Hot Springs. A great, yet little-known spot downtown is a top garden of Performing Arts Center. The second floor of the Matsumoto Folkcraft Museum is a place to see the Japan Alps and grape orchards through the beautiful window. The Baba Family Residence is a good viewpoint where you can see both Mt. Yari and Mt. Hotakadake, the two highest summits of the Japan Alps.
-
What areas/places are flat and allow for wheelchair/stroller access and/or the elderly to get around easily?
Nakamachi and Nawate Streets in Matsumoto and Narai Post Town in a part of Shiojiri in the Kiso Valley are flat, old streets that are good for strolling. Also, Agatanomori Park near the Matsumoto Museum of Art is a good place to go around even in a wheelchair.
-
Farm visits and fruit picking around Matsumoto
On the farm visits front, other than the Diao Wasabi Farm in Azumino, you’ll need to go by bike, taxi, or car. Apple picking is available in the fall (Oct and part of Nov) at Yokoya Farm. They speak basic English. In Azumino City, you can do apple picking anytime at Azumino Fruit Farm. Download this Azumino Multilingual Leaflet for more details. English is spoken at Ogurayama Farm, a member of WWOOF.
In Shiojiri, a southern neighboring city of Matsumoto, many grape orchards for tourists are open from late August until mid-October. One of them is located 15-minutes walking (or a few minutes by taxi) from Shiojiri Station. There is also a petting zoo at Tirolean Forest in Shiojiri.
-
What’s the best place in town for viewing cherry blossoms? When will they bloom?
Matsumoto Castle is famous for cherry blossoms. Joyama Park and the Susuki River are popular among the locals for enjoying cherry blossoms and BBQs. Mt. Kobo and Mt. Hikarujo (in Azumino City) are also popular, and there are good hiking courses among the cherry trees. Mid-April is probably the best time to see them (but it depends on the year and place). See our Cherry Blossoms page.
Matsumoto Castle
-
What is the wait time to enter the castle?
Matsumoto Castle has a small capacity because there are only steep and narrow steps for going up inside the keep. So it is crowded during holidays especially Golden Week (around April 29 to May 5) and Obon (around August 13 to 16). You may have to wait anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to enter the castle. The waiting time is posted outside of the castle’s main gate (kuromon) as shown in the photo and on the official Japanese website. Peak visiting hours are generally from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Last admission is 4:30 p.m., but this is pushed forward to 5:30 p.m. during Golden Week and around the second week of August and Obon. Lunch time might not be so crowded, though it depends on other factors. For instance, when a big tour group comes, it is crowded.
-
Is there anything else to do at the castle?
In addition to the castle’s museum and shop, events such as live music performances, ice sculpting, soba festivals, tea ceremonies, samurai parades, and more are held on the castle grounds on several days every month. Check out our Facebook events page or the castle’s English Event Information page for upcoming event information. You can see Ikegami Hyakuchikutei, a historical Japanese house which has a full-scale tea-ceremony room (chashitsu) with a tea garden, located just across the street on the castle’s north side. You can often see an armored samurai, a ninja, and a kimono-wearing princess (Omotenashi-tai – see more here) and take photos with them. Also, a rickshaw puller is sometimes waiting in front of the castle’s main gate to give rickshaw tours.
Hiking & Mountain Climbing
-
Can I go to Kamikochi in winter?
Kamikochi’s public facilities are completely closed in winter (Nov 16 to mid-Apr). You can only enter there on foot. You need snowshoes, other appropriate equipment, and winter hiking experience. There is a risk of avalanche, so it is recommended that you go with an experienced person or guide only when conditions are good. There are local guided tours through Kamikochi offered by companies including Little Peaks (Japanese site) in winter.
The closest place to enter Kamikochi during the winter is Sawando. You can get to Sawando from Matsumoto Station by bus. Then, take a taxi to Nakanoyu (no parking lot) and walk from there. It takes 6–8 hours for a round trip from Nakanoyu to Kappa Bridge.
Norikura Highlands and Shirahone Hot Springs near Kamikochi are open even in winter and accessible by bus. -
Can I go to Kamikochi before the opening ceremony (Apr 27)?
Yes. Facilities like the information center and some restaurants are open, but most hotels are still preparing to open. There is still some snow on the trails (due to the weather and altitude), so just be sure to have proper footwear. It is a great time to go, because it is not busy (there are few Japanese tourists, but some foreigners including those in tour groups are there).
-
Is there snow in May, June, and October in the Japan Alps?
Tall mountains (around 3,000 m) like Mt. Yari, Hotaka, and Jonen are covered with snow from around mid-October until the later part of June. There is a risk of avalanche, so it is recommended that you only climb such mountains from July through September. From April to June and from October to November, you can hike in areas lower than 3,000 m, such as Mt. Hachibuse and Utsukushigahara, even if there is snow on the trails.
-
I want to camp in Kamikochi. Should I book a spot for my tent in Konashidaira or Tokusawa-en campsites?
If you have your own tent, you don’t need to worry about booking a spot. These campsites don’t accept bookings for their free tent spots. More than several hundred tents can be pitched, and they do not fill up even in their busiest season.
Konashidaira has small rental tents and mats, but they can’t be reserved. Tokusawa-en has fixed tents and you can reserve them.
-
I want to stay in a mountain lodge (yamagoya). What kind of facilities do they provide? Should I reserve it ahead of time?
Yamagoya provide the minimum facilities and service for climbers, so you can use bedding (futon, no bed), food, and water (no shower). Usually you don’t have to book in advance, because yamagoya must accept any climber without reservation for climbers’ safety (but you should reach the yamagoya early in the afternoon: before 3 p.m. if possible, 5 p.m. at the latest).
-
Do you have any advice on a good one-day intermediate hike?
How about Mt. Yakedake, a volcano in the Japan Alps about 10 km hike from/to Kamikochi? Refer to this webpage. It is an active volcano, but less dangerous than other mountains like Mt. Asama and Ontake so you are able to climb to the top. Another suggestion is Mt. Norikura. It is at a high elevation (3,026m), but not especially difficult, because you can go up to a 2,700-meter point (Tatamidaira) by bus. It takes only 2.5 hours from/to Tatamidaira. Going down to Sanbon Fall Bus Stop (1,900 m) is a good one day hike (5.5 hr, 10 km). You can also visit our Hiking page for a more comprehensive list of hikes in the area.
-
Are there any multilingual hiking guides available?

Transportation & Routes – From/To Kamikochi, Shin-Hotaka, and Takayama
-
Is it possible to take a bus to Kamikochi, go for a walk, and get to Takayama in one day?
Yes, depending on your schedule. We suggest that you check the bus timetables and plan your schedule accordingly. In Kamikochi, the most popular hiking course from Kappa Bridge to Taisho Pond takes around 2 hours round trip. Sightseeing buses can bring you straight to the Kamikochi Bus Terminal near the bridge. Getting off a bus at Taisho Pond, hiking to Kappa Bridge, taking a bus from the Bus Terminal to Hirayu Onsen, then transferring to a bus to Takayama is the quickest trip.
See timetable for Matsumoto to Kamikochi.
See timetable for Hirayu Onsen/Takayama buses. -

The Alpico Bus Company also sells Shinshu–Hida Alps Wide Free Passport, a 4-day unlimited ride ticket for buses running between Matsumoto, Kamikochi/Norikura, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and some other places in Gifu. It might be convenient and cheap if you travel to those areas.
-
How can I access Shin-Hotaka from Matsumoto?

旅行中の交通手段はどんなものがありますか?

冬の旅行はスタッドレス・チェーンは必要でしょうか?
冬の松本への旅行を車で計画されている方へは
スタットレスやチェーンの装備の準備をおすすめしています。松本市は、道路上に積雪が常にあることはあまりない気候で
冬でも観光のしやすい都市ではあります。しかし、松本までの道中には雪が比較的多いエリアがあるため念のための装備は必要です。
(特に中央道での八ヶ岳・諏訪エリアや、塩嶺エリア)
市街地には雪がない場合でも
上高地・乗鞍・美ヶ原に向かう場合には必ず必要になると思っていいと思います。3月や4月にも、例年積雪が10cmを越すこともあります。
春のご旅行の際には天気予報を参考にしていただき
同様に装備のチェックをお願いします。【ちなみに松本市民は。。。】
毎年11月中旬くらいからタイヤの履き替えをする人が増え、
クリスマスの頃にはほとんどの車がスタットレスタイヤになります。
また春は3月下旬から4月上旬にノーマルタイヤに履き替えるのですが
通称「春のドカ雪」という、3月下旬から4月上旬に大雪が降ることもあり
毎年この時期には「いつ履き替える?」という会話が登場します。
数年に1度の割合で、開花した桜が雪化粧するという幻想的な風景も見られます。冬の松本旅行には、公共の交通機関のご利用もおすすめです。

松本の気候に関するご質問
-
雪はどれくらい降りますでしょうか?
長野県北部に比べて積雪は少なく乾燥していますが
年に数回、大雪(ドカユキ)が降ることもあります。常に積雪がある訳ではありませんが
12月、1月、2月は氷点下になることが多くなりますので
雪が解けずに残っていることもありますので
暖かい服装、滑りにくい靴だと安心です。詳しくは下記のページを参考にしてください。

Is there any international community or place where I can meet foreigners who live in Matsumoto city?
Social Matsumoto hosts a get together about once a month. The location changes, but is typically within walking distance from Matsumoto Station. The Storyhouse Cafe is owned by an American and Japanese couple, and the cafe hosts events and meetups including language exchange. Old Rock is a pub often frequented by foreigners.
There are also some churches in Matsumoto. Catholic Matsumoto Church near the castle and Matsumoto Abundant Life Christ Church are popular among local foreigners.
On Facebook, you can join Nagano Prefecture International Group (open group) and, if you are living in the prefecture, The Nagano-ken JET (The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program) Collective (closed group). The Shinshu(Nagano) chapter of the Japan Association of Language Teachers has their own website and Facebook group.

Where can I have official documents for embassies notarized and/or translated?
There is the Matsumoto Notarizing Office (Matsumoto Koshonin Yakuba, Momose Bldg. 3F, 2-5-1 Ote, Matsumoto 390-0874), but their services may not be offered in English.
Administrative attorney Haruo Inoue (phone: 090-3565-7912) speaks English well and deals with foreigners’ visas, green cards, and naturalization.
MT Labs, a translation company on Nakamachi Street can translate your documents and provide certification that they have been officially translated.
