Two shopping streets rooted in the castle town

Separated by the Meguro River flowing through central Matsumoto, two charming streets stand side by side: Nawate Street and Nakamachi Street. Nawate Street is a shopping district lined with row-house style buildings housing retro toy shops, souvenir stores, rice cracker shops, and more—places you can enjoy just browsing. Nakamachi Street features buildings modeled after traditional storehouses, lined with folk craft shops and classic coffee shops, creating a distinctive atmosphere. Crossing the river allows easy access to both streets, so be sure to visit them.
