Hello!
\nIt’s the middle of December in Matsumoto, and finally, after a long summer and an unusually warm autumn, winter has arrived. Nights have been as cold as -5 degrees, and life in town has become slower.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Yesterday, it was the second day of the illumination at Matsumoto Castle, so I went to see it!<\/p>\n

My friends told me that during the first years, projection mapping at Matsumoto Castle was not the best, but that it’s improving a lot year by year. <\/p>\n

Once the season for Kamikochi closes, tourism comes to a halt, so projection mapping was originally an idea to invite people to visit Matsumoto in the colder months as well.<\/p>\n

This year, projection mapping will continue until February 16th.
\nProjections will vary, this time I saw some historical pictures, but the next themes will be:<\/p>\n

Snow, ice and starry sky (from January 8th to January 25th)
\nand
\nSpring is coming (from January 25th to February 16th).<\/p>\n

The projections last for 12 minutes – with 5 minutes breaks before they are replayed. They continue from 18 to 21 every day. I would recommend going early, evenings are freezing already.<\/p>\n

Some pictures from the projection “History”<\/p>\n

I don’t know a lot about projection mapping, but I thought it was really nice.
\nI would recommend it to children and Matsumoto Castle fans!<\/p>\n
