Our first destination is Zenkoji Temple in Nagano Prefecture. It is one of the most important and popular temples in Japan. It was founded in the 7th century and stores the first Buddhist statues ever to be brought into Japan when Buddhism was first introduced in the 6th century. We will stop by SA for lunch, then we will head to Matsumoto Castle. The castle formerly named “Fukashi” was built over 400 years ago. The six-story black painted wooden keep is the oldest surviving structure in Japan and is a designated national treasure.
*You have to take off your shoes to enter Matsumoto Castle and there’s a steep staircase inside.
Bring: Yen for lunch and anything you may need.
