About this place
Matsumoto Castle stands in central Matsumoto, Nagano, and its black-walled keep is a designated National Treasure. Matsumoto is also the usual base for Kamikochi and the Northern Alps, so the castle often sits at the start or end of a mountain drive.
The castle has no car park of its own. The city-run Otemon car park building, about an eight-minute walk away and open 7:30 to 22:30, is the usual choice; a smaller municipal lot on the north side closes at 18:00. From Matsumoto IC on the Nagano Expressway it is about 3.5 km along Route 158, which takes around 20 minutes through town traffic.

How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Matsumoto Castle?
- The mapcode is 75 851 229*20, pointing at a spot in 長野県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 36.238635, 137.968871. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
