Matsumae Castle Tours

If only the time-worn walls of Matsumae Castle could talk! But as they can't, check if tours are available to hear a few of its fascinating tales instead.

Matsumae Castle is a worthwhile place to start out your day in Matsumae. This fortified complex comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Save time for other sights like Cape Shirakami, Kozen-ji Temple, and Hogen-ji Temple to make the most of what the area has to offer.
