Visit Mastumoto

This is the place where postal services first began in Matsumoto during the Meiji era, and a monument stands here commemorating it as the "Birthplace of the Postal System." Established as a post office in 1875 (Meiji 8), it became the starting point for communications connecting the region to the nation. A monument and explanatory panel are placed here, allowing visitors to sense the history of that time. As you stroll through Matsumoto, visit this spot to reflect on the origins of the postal system that supported modern Japanese life.
