Why go to Matsumoto? All the things I was planning to do on my cancelled Japan trip in Nagano prefecture and the Japanese alps!
A new series sharing places from my Japan wishlist, to give you ideas for places to go and introduce things to do in Japan you might not have thought of, and hidden spots away from the usual tourist destinations. Here's why I wanted to go to Matsumoto, and all the things you can do on day trips around Nagano prefecture, including Matsumoto Castle, artwork by Yayoi Kusama, Daio Wasabi Farm, cycling in Azumino with views of the Japanese alps, hiking in the mountains in Kamikochi, the amazing snow walls of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and Lake Suwa (from the anime film Your Name!). I've also included some train passes you can get for the area, including the JR East Pass I was going to use.
