Because Matsumoto is a mecca for outdoor sports in Japan, it comes to Matsumoto twice this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"https:\/\/blog.visitmatsumoto.com\/en\/events\/banff-mountain-film-festival-world-tour-coming-to-matsumoto\/\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"https:\/\/blog.visitmatsumoto.com\/en\/events\/banff-mountain-film-festival-world-tour-coming-to-matsumoto\/\" data-text=\"BANFF Mountain Film Festival World Tour Coming to Matsumoto\"  >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BANFF Mountain Film Festival (BANFF MMF) World Tour came to Norikura Plateau, Nagano last Saturday, September 12th.
