Meguro River
The iconic river of the city center
The Meguro River, originating from the peaks of Utsukushigahara, flows gently through the city of Matsumoto. It once served as the outer moat of Matsumoto Castle, playing a vital role in protecting the castle town. This river, approximately 17 kilometers long, changes its appearance with each season, offering tranquility to both residents and tourists.
In early summer, the cool croaking of tree frogs echoes, and you can enjoy the magical night view of dancing fireflies. Strolling along the riverbank, the sound of the babbling stream and the pleasant breeze gently soothe the weariness of travel. Flowing while reflecting Matsumoto's nature and history, it is a symbol of the city.
