The oldest castle in Japan
We've spent one night in Matsumoto, at a nice little hostel that gave us bikes for free! So we explored Matsumoto, which is not very big and very "bike-friendly", and visited Matsumoto Castle.

This was another fantastic day, although to be honest all of them were. This was the best moto/road trip of my life! I road up the west coast of Izu Peninsular, including a couple of fruitful diversions (take Route 127, turn left onto Route 18 and head to the coast for some corners to rival the Izu Skyline – in fact better than it if it weren’t for the Skyline’s ...
