| I
almost didn't bother to revisit Matsumoto as there remain so many
other places I have yet to visit, but it seemed like a convenient
overnight stop on my way into the mountains. It turned out to
be a really good choice for, in addition to a town which seemed to
have become just generally more pleasant and interesting than I
recalled, there are now some rather impressive new buildings,
notable by their absence in the images below.
It is not that I do not have more
images from the 1992 visit, just that back in those pre-digital
days, they are all on Kodachrome so it will be some time before I
get round to painstakingly scanning and sorting them.
Obviously the castle has not changed a great deal, apart from the
seasonal cherry blossom here which is absent from the February 2012
pictures. |
