Ōzu Castle Town Retro Stroll

Ōzu City is a charming castle town known as 'Little Kyoto of Iyo'. Starting with the wooden reconstructed Ōzu Castle keep, there are many sights to see, including the Michelin one-star gardens of Garyū Sanso and the retro townscape of Ohanahahan-dori. Along the walking paths by the Hijikigawa River, you can also watch cormorant fishing and immerse yourself in Japan's nostalgic scenery. Japan's first castle lodging experience is also attracting attention—you can even stay at Ōzu Castle and experience the life of a feudal lord.
