Ozu Castle

This little countryside castle was really interesting. The inside has been recently remodeled, but it still has the old feel to it. The grounds are well kept, and the staff was very friendly. We stopped here on our way to Matsuyama. It was a nice little town to visit.

It was okay. Fairly standard reconstructed castle. Compared to others around Japan I'd say it's a more faithful reconstruction, but on the downside the area around it is not that interesting and there aren't a lot of exhibits inside. The weakest of the three places you can visit on the one ticket tour of the city.

It's a beautiful sight to behold up on its little hill overlooking the river. I could really imagine its lord peering out over the town hundreds of years ago, especially since so much of the surrounding area still possesses a rather 'vintage' feel. While there was not much English support in the castle itself, there was an English pamphlet that covered everything you needed to know to enjoy a visit to the castle.

Excellent castle and staff although expect an almost ladder like climb to the upper floors. Great views of the town and surrounds. Well worth a visit to see the amazing woodworking skills in the frame of the buiding

Very unique castle restored using traditional carpentry techniques. Great view at sunset. The interior ladders are quite steep, but you get a feeling for what the building was really like.
