🏯Matsumoto Castle #Japan🇯🇵

🔶Matsumoto Castle is a miracle of the Japanese fortification of the 16th century, which is also called the "Raven Castle" because of the black walls and side towers, similar to the outstretched wings of a bird. 

🔶The most interesting part is the main dungeon. From the outside, it seems that the castle has five floors, but in fact the sixth floor is hidden behind a defensive fortification. The castle has a unique architecture for Japan - in addition to the covered passage between the main tower, there are two smaller secret passages connecting the towers. 

🔶Ten round wooden pillars, carved with an axe, support the structure. If you look closely, you will notice that the walls are slightly curved – they were deformed due to earthquakes.

🔶An interesting attraction of Matsumoto Castle is the observation wing on the main tower, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.
