Matsumoto Castle is a wooden and stone structure, built in the 16th century. It was used as a military fort for 364 years until the Meiji restoration in 1868. The Meiji government ordered its destruction, and its outer walls were demolished.
Following
a campaign by the local people, the castle keep was saved and later renovated
as the keep had a heavy lean. Today the
castle is designated a National Treasure of Japan.
