Ozu

Nestled along the western coast of Shikoku in Ehime Prefecture, Ozu flourishes as a preserved gem that transports visitors back to the Edo Period. Its centerpiece is the proudly restored Ozu Castle, an impressive wooden structure that surveys the surrounding historic quarter. Wander through tranquil old-town lanes lined with traditional residences, atmospheric alleys, and riverside villas that showcase classic Japanese architecture. It offers a wonderfully peaceful, off-the-beaten-path glimpse into authentic samurai and merchant life.
