[Rickshaw Tour of Matsumoto Castle and Castle Town] A rickshaw will arrive at "Hanakomichi" (Flower Road). Enjoy the atmosphere of the castle town while listening to the rickshaw driver tell you about the history of Matsumoto Castle and the town. Along the way, we will share recommended shops and information not found in guidebooks, tailored to your interests. At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at the shamisen shop "Kikuoka Matsuno" in Nakamachi. From the rickshaw, you will enjoy a higher-than-usual view, making for an elegant moment. [Learn shamisen from a performer and enjoy a live performance] The experience concludes with a shamisen experience at the shamisen shop "Kikuoka Matsuno," where you will be guided by a performer and enjoy a live performance just for you. The sound of the shamisen heard live is truly the traditional sound of Japan. Experience the unique aesthetic sense and sensibility of the Japanese through the shamisen, a instrument that has long been loved in Japan.
