Matsumoto

Matsumoto in Nagoya ken is a relatively small city, where they love frogs
This is from a legend, but sorry I don't know this one
But once again what is great at this time of year is the red leaves
This was in a small temple in the city center
This one is a Shinto temple
Just amazing and so relaxing
This is one of the place where you can pray
But after that direction the blue castle
a really beautiful one
with some of the red leaves in the background
There was also a samurai there that I fight bravely!
I was just wondering how this one manage with such a big stomach!!!
This is a view from inside the castle.
And inside this is so difficult, stairs are very very high, narrow, slippery and not straight!
Just wondering how they where doing with their armor at that time!!!!
Some roof views
The castle is wooden, but nothing left inside
from from downstairs
After that direction a flower exhibit in the castle
These flowers are just enormous!!!
Ahhh and finally my favorite very difficult to find in this season
Kakigori, I let you find out the one I picked!
Just a small ice cream because it was very hot :-)
The city is also famous for it's fountains, everywhere, this one in a shape of an old coin
And this one is funny: "we can't speak english but try it"
Good for business :-)
