Matsuri (also known as Matsurdi, Matšuri, Belohvostovo and Piiroja) is a village in Setomaa Parish, Võru County, in southeastern Estonia, on the border with Russia.[1] The Tartu–Pechory, Valga–Pechory railways and Karisilla–Pechory road (nr. 63) all pass Matsuri and cross the border in neighbouring Koidula. In 2011, a new Koidula railway station was built on the territory of Matsuri to enable traffic between Tartu–Pechory and Valga–Pechory railways while avoiding crossing the Russian border.
Matsuri has a population of 42 (as of 1 January 2011).[2]
In 2008 a new Matsuri–Sesniki road was opened, making it possible to reach Saatse and its neighbouring villages without passing through the Saatse Boot.
