Is Matsumoto Worth Visiting? Our 3-Day Itinerary (Full Travel Guide)!

We spent 3 days in Matsumoto, Japan — a city known for its historic castle, peaceful streets, and local charm. In this video, we take you along as we explore the best of Matsumoto, from the iconic Matsumoto Castle to the fascinating Yayoi Kusama Museum. Between sightseeing, we wandered through quiet neighborhoods, soaked in the scenery, and discovered just how underrated this city really is. Of course, no trip would be complete without food — and Matsumoto did not disappoint. From cozy local spots to unexpectedly good bites, we found some amazing places to eat that truly elevated the experience. If you're wondering whether Matsumoto is worth adding to your Japan itinerary, this vlog gives you our honest take, plus ideas for how to spend your time if you go! ✈️ More Japan adventures here:    • We Couldn't Believe This Place Exists in J...   P_UjNVlSUPCCyHFsOlMW&index=39 🛋️ Hotel – https://www.agoda.com/partners/partne... 🚅 JR Pass – https://www.jrpass.com/buy-the-japan-... 📶 Japan Wireless Pocket WiFi – https://www.japan-wireless.com/?via=w... 🗺️ Matsumoto Guide - https://www.waddlewanders.com/guides/... 🌍 All Our Guides – https://www.waddlewanders.com 🎨 Make Color Grading Easy with Dehancer – https://www.dehancer.com/ (CODE WADDLEWANDERS - GET 10% OFF)! 🎥 OUR GEAR ✧Sony a6700: https://amzn.to/4aWddVo ✧Vlog Lens 10-18mm f2.8: https://amzn.to/4b2LKzW ✧B-roll/travel lens 18-40mm f1.8: https://amzn.to/4sxSugz ✧Zoom Lens 70-200 f2.8: https://amzn.to/4sxSzkn ✧DJI Pocket 3: https://amzn.to/46HH7u4 ✧DJI Wireless Mic: https://amzn.to/4sxnDjZ ✧Camera Bag: https://amzn.to/4aY0PEh 🎞️ ADDITIONAL GEAR ✧Battery case: https://amzn.to/3N39TyD ✧SD Card: https://amzn.to/4bhY4N5 ✧SD Card case: https://amzn.to/46KaCeO ✧ND & Mist Filter: https://amzn.to/4bdQhzN ✧Drone: https://amzn.to/3PamosJ ✧Big Tripod: https://amzn.to/4srVqLy ✧Vlog Tripod - https://amzn.to/4rjLDX0 🌱 CHAPTERS ✧ Welcome! 0:00 ✧ First steps in Matsumoto 0:36 ✧ Follow our journey and subscribe 1:42 ✧ Shrines and Shopping Streets 2:10 ✧ Matsumoto Castle 3:08 ✧ Where to have Dinner? 4:44 ✧ Day 2 5:17 ✧ Best unexpected find! 7:34 ✧ Blooming Sakura and Plum 7:54 ✧ Final Thoughts! 8:14 ✧ Thank you for watching! 9:04 ••••• 🐳DISCLAIMER: If you purchase a product or service with the affiliate links in this description, we may receive a small commission.
