October 24, 2015 - Matsumoto Castle and Daio Wasabi Farm

A nice sunny Saturday, the perfect time to get a glimpse of Matsumoto Castle. We started our way from Matsumoto station on foot. Right at the entrance of the station there was big gathering around Kappa-chan.

After exploring the surrounding of Matsumoto Castle we took a small walk and headed to Kita-Matsumoto station to catch the next train to Hotaka. From the station we took a taxi and after a few minutes arrived to Daio Wasabi Farm.
