Ozu Castle

Peter Luk via Google Maps

Rising dramatically over the Hijikawa River, Ozu Castle stands as a proud testament to classic Japanese fortress architecture. Originally established in the 14th century, the castle's four-story main keep was faithfully reconstructed using traditional timber carpentry methods completed in 2004. Visitors can explore the impressive wooden interior, admire surviving historical turrets, and take in panoramic vistas of the surrounding river valley and town. It makes for an enchanting stop for travelers seeking an authentic castle experience off the standard tourist trail.
