松本城、松本市、長野県、日本。
Matsumoto Castle, Matsumoto, Nagano prefecture, Japan.
By sheer luck I happened to be in Matsumoto at the start of the week long Evening Cherry Blossom Festival (夜桜会). I thought I would be far too early for cherry blossom but I hit it right in full-bloom.
The illuminated room on the left is the "moon viewing wing". During the festival traditional Japanese musicians perform inside. This evening it was raining so they didn't have much of an audience. I enjoyed it though!

It's great huh?
I've been meaning to visit since I saw your pictures of it over two years ago (before I moved to Japan). Finally got round to it!
If you come again I'd recommend trying to make your visit coincide with this festival. The atmosphere created by the music, lights and cherry blossoms was amazing.
I'll be posting other shots of it later (including a bridge shot obviouly
