Evening air, the sound of spring water, the warmth held in old stone streets.

Matsumoto has flourished for centuries as a castle town, where wells and natural springs were once central to daily life. That same water still shapes the city today—found not only in everyday routines, but in the flavors of its restaurants, craft beer, and cocktails.

This experience introduces Matsumoto’s water culture and its understated nighttime charm. Walking, touching, tasting—you’ll learn from a local guide how those in the know enjoy an evening in Matsumoto.
