Ozu

Among the cities of Ehime Prefecture, Ozu stands out for its historic castle town setting along the Hijikawa River. Ozu Castle rises above the riverbank; its wooden keep was reconstructed in 2004 using traditional methods, following the form of the former Edo-period tower. Nearby, Garyu Sanso is an early-20th-century villa and garden complex known for its refined Japanese architecture and riverside setting. The old town preserves merchant-town streets and temples, while summer cormorant fishing on the Hijikawa continues a local tradition.
