Such a beautiful view!
I'm getting better at snowboarding, but never has my bum hurt sooo much from falling down!!! And the muscle pain which lasted about 3 days left me practically paralyzed in the mornings. Maybe I need to improve my warm-up stretching routine..
Sightseeing in Matsumoto - 松本旅行
Since Jen and I visited Nagano city last Winter holiday and saw the Snow Monkeys (click here to re-read) we've decided to make it an annual destination. This time we visited Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture as a day-trip.
The 500-year old castle is considered a National Treasure of Japan. Although during the 1500s several hundred castles were built in Japan, only 12 survive intact to this day due to earthquake or fire. Unlike European medieval castles, Japanese castles were built mainly of wood.
Unfortunately, on the day Jen and I visited, the interior wasn't open to the public, so we just walked around the grounds and admired it.
