Enjoy Matsushiro: Tourist Information, Tips & Suggestions
Visitors to Matsushiro will discover a quiet and unassuming town offering plenty to do. The emphasis however should be on quiet. Now enveloped by the sprawl of Nagano City, what was once a separate town is now a suburb of the larger city, with historic sites and places of interest dotted through the town.
Our ‘Highlights of Matsushiro: Nagano City’s Samurai Town’ page introduced the town’s most well-known attractions. For further tips and suggestions, including some more obscure but very interesting destinations, please see our ’15 Things to Do in Matsushiro’ page.
Open daily from 09:00 to 17:00, the Matsushiro Tourist Information Center is located next to the Sanada Treasures Museum. Friendly staff are on-hand to assist with your enquiries with rental bicycles available from 09:00 to 16:00 / JPY500 per persons. Both adult and kids bikes are available – a great way to explore the town.
