Ozu Old Town

Peter Luk via Google Maps

Known as the 'Little Kyoto of Iyo,' Ozu Old Town preserves a beautifully evocative atmosphere shaped during its heyday as an Edo-period castle town and subsequent Meiji-era modernization. Visitors can stroll along tranquil, stone-paved lanes bordered by classic merchant estates and historic samurai residences. The district's remarkably intact streetscapes invite relaxed exploration, offering a peaceful glimpse into bygone decades of Japanese architectural heritage.
