Outer Moat Lane
The spot where Matsumoto Castle's moat once stood, a hidden gem for those in the know
Where Matsumoto Castle's moat once flowed, now lies a charming little alleyway. Named "Soto-bori Alley," this hidden walking route was built over the waterway. As you
stroll along this path, you'll notice the ground slopes differently on either side. This is a remnant of the earth piled up on one side when the moat was dug, giving rise to the area's name, "Uedocho."Enjoy unraveling the hidden historical mysteries beneath your feet as you stroll leisurely along this path.
