彼の場所は美しいです。訪れるべきです。 Uchibori is the name given to the inner moat surrounding Matsumotojō Castle in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The moat played an important role in the castle's defense system, helping to protect the castle from invaders. Uchibori is fed by the nearby Taishō Pond and is an impressive sight, particularly during the cherry blossom season when the moat is surrounded by beautiful pink blossoms. Today, visitors can walk along the banks of Uchibori and enjoy the scenic views of Matsumotojō Castle and the surrounding gardens. Beautiful moat!

Castle moat. Water is nice and clear. There are two native swans and some fish who seem happy enough with it, so I'll rate it for them.

Next to the moat is the Matsumoto Castle Continuous Tenshu Group, which is very suitable for taking pictures. The blue sky and white clouds match the black castle group very beautifully. If you are lucky, you may encounter ducks in the river and walk ashore.

☆Inner moat that surrounds the south side of the main enclosure in concave letters🦆 The north side is connected to the outer moat, and the southern side is a territory that has a strong historical background from around 1592 during the Bunroku period, which was conscious of Edo/Tokugawa Ieyasu. Only the inner moat adjacent to the castle tower has a wide moat, about 50 to 60 meters in wide areas, there is no cover in the Ninomaru surrounding the Honmaru, and it is launched from the Ninomaru side, and there is an earthwork on the Honmaru side.
