Matsumoto Castle - Matsumoto-jō - a photo on Flickriver

            Matsumoto Castle (松本城, Matsumoto-jō), originally known as Fukashi Castle, is one of Japan's premier historic castles. It was the seat of Matsumoto Domain under the Edo Period Tokugawa shogunate. It is located in the city of Matsumoto, in Nagano Prefecture.

The keep 天守閣 (tenshukaku), which was completed in the late sixteenth century (current structures date from 1594), maintains its original wooden interiors and external stonework. It is listed as a National Treasure of Japan and is one of the twelve remaining original castles in Japan.
