Climb the "Crow Castle" as Ninja 🥷

#japantrip 🏯 Matsumoto Castle, also known as the "Crow Castle" 🐦⬛due to its black exterior, is a historic Japanese castle located in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. It is considered one of Japan's most complete and beautiful original castles. 🚊 Matsumoto is easily accessible by train from major cities in Japan. The JR Matsumoto Station is located within walking distance of the castle. The castle's distinctive black exterior is a result of the use of a type of lacquer called "urushi," which is known for its durability and water resistance. The main keep of the castle is a five-story structure with a beautiful white exterior.
