Activity itinerary

Nakamachi Street

  • 15m
A brief walk through Nakamachi St and discuss the history of the white walled storage houses that line the streets. We'll then head to a hidden local shrine that has significant meaning to the locals.

Agetsuchi

  • 15m
A walk along Metoba River to the Agetsuchi area. This area has western influenced architecture and is very different from Nakamachi. The area was influenced by the Taisho Roman era of the early 1900s. We'll discuss how this era influenced fashion, food, and lifestyle in Japan.

Higashimachi Street

  • 30m
We'll head to the "BackTown" of the Higashimachi area called Uramachi. This slightly grittier area was the red light district and has a colorful past.

Matsumoto Castle

  • 30m
We'll walk around the Matsumoto Castle area and head to a secret location that has spectacular 360 degree views of the city, the castle, and the mountains (only available on weekdays).

Nawate Shopping District

  • 15m
A brief walk through Umadashi, an area that played a significant role in the defence tactics of the castle. We'll then take a look inside a traditional Japanese sweets shop and grab a snack. Then head to Nawate St and walk along Metoba River.

Yohashira Shrine

  • 15m
We'll head to Yohashira Shrine of the Nawate area in the city center and do a proper Shinto greeting.
