Matsumoto Castle at Dusk

Matsumoto Castle stands majestically under the evening sky in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Its multi-tiered roofs are bathed in sunset hues of orange and pink while the surrounding greenery adds to its picturesque charm. A well-manicured lawn stretches out before it leading up to stone walls that anchor this historic structure. This castle is an emblem of feudal Japan's military architecture and remains one of the few original castles still standing in pristine condition.
