Matsumoto Castle ( Matsumoto-jo), also known as the “Crow Castle” (Karasu-jo)

because of its black exterior, is one of Japan’s premier historic castles.

It is located in the city of Matsumoto, in Nagano Prefecture

and is within easy reach of Tokyo by road or rail.

The keep (tenshukaku), which was completed in the late 16th century,

maintains its original wooden interiors and external stonework.

It is listed as a National Treasure of Japan.
