Uchiko -> Iyo-Ozu -> ??? The walking pass is cheaper if you purchase it through Klook!!!!! 09:07 JR Matsuyama -> Uchiko via express train The weather wasn’t too hot, so I decided to walk up to Goshōji Temple. Since I was traveling alone and wanted to save on taxi fare, I walked, but I recommend taking a taxi… 🥲 It was an uphill climb, and I ended up sweating a lot. Since it was early in the morning, there weren’t many people around, so I could explore comfortably. While walking up, I got tired and took breaks to enjoy the scenery. Using a Korean coupon, I only visited the Kamihaga Residence. Luckily, I arrived just as other visitors were leaving, so I managed to take photos at the photo spot all by myself! 🥹 Then, due to Google Maps giving me incorrect directions… I ended up taking the wrong train, went back to Matsuyama, and then headed to Iyo-Ozu again. In Ozu, I only had an hour, and I didn’t realize it was Monday, so many places were closed… ^^… I only managed to see the Sota chair. Next time, Sota-kun… 🥹 After that, I grabbed a quick bite at Kira Bakery and moved on to the hidden sunset spot 🌅 · Goshōji Temple ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Take a taxi… 🥹, May your wishes come true 📿) · Kamihaga Residence ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (The garden was the highlight of the visit!) · Kira Bakery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I tried the cheese tart and chestnut bread, and the chestnut bread was delicious!)

#budgetairlines If you’re planning to explore Japan without breaking the bank, Jetstar Japan is a fantastic option. I recently flew from Narita to Matsuyama for around $50 round trip, thanks to one of their frequent sales. The flight itself took just 90 minutes, and everything from check-in to landing was smooth and on time. Jetstar often runs limited-time promotions, so it’s worth checking their website regularly if you’re flexible with your dates. Matsuyama is packed with sightseeing spots—from the famous Dogo Onsen, one of Japan’s oldest hot springs, to the charming town of Ozu, just a short trip away. For such a low fare, this flight opened up a whole region to explore! Why I recommend Jetstar Japan for domestic travel: ・Incredible deals (I paid ~$50 round trip during a sale!) ・Short, comfortable flights between major cities ・Great way to access lesser-known areas like Ehime Prefecture 📍From Narita Airport (Tokyo) to Matsuyama Airport (Ehime Prefecture) #JetstarJapan #BudgetAirlines #DomesticTravelJapan #EhimeTrip #JapanOnABudget #DogoOnsen #HiddenJapan #TripcomCommunity #TravelSmart

#AustraliaFlightEvent 🚊Iyo-Ozu Station Iyo-Ozu Station is a quiet train station near Matsuyama, and its old-fashioned appearance is charming. The old platform and the quiet scenery around it make you feel like you've traveled back in time. It's also a spot loved by photographers! It's a good place to stop by on the way to Uchiko or Shimonada. If you have enough time on the train, I recommend taking a walk around the nearby town. Ozu Castle, Garyusanso, and Bansenjo are also good places to visit nearby. If you want to feel the simple but warm atmosphere of the Japanese countryside, don't miss it!

#cityDAYTour #Shikoku #大SU #大岛城 #松山市 #爱hime Matsuyama in Shikoku is most famous for Dogo Onsen, but in fact, just over an hour's drive to the west, you can reach another small town with beautiful natural scenery - Iyo Continent, which is very suitable for a day trip to Matsuyama City. Morning: Depart from Matsuyama City JR Depart from Matsuyama City JR Station and take the train to Osu City. This journey takes about an hour and allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shikoku along the way. Matsuyama City, the capital of Ehime Prefecture, is famous for its hot springs and historical sites, making it an ideal starting point for a day trip. Dazhou City Dazhou City is a castle with a history of more than 400 years, located in the center of Dazhou City. The castle is famous for its well-preserved wooden structure and spectacular castle tower. Visitors can climb the castle tower to overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Osu City and learn about the history of Japan's Warring States Period. Lunch: Osu-robata Aburaya Enjoy lunch at Osu-robata Aburaya, a traditional Japanese robatayaki restaurant. The restaurant provides fresh local ingredients to create delicious barbecue dishes. The atmosphere here is warm and gives people a strong sense of Japanese culture, making it a great choice for tasting local food. Fumoto Yokocho Fuhimoto Yokocho is an old street full of history, lined with traditional Japanese buildings and shops. There are many specialty shops and cafes here, where tourists can buy souvenirs, taste local snacks and feel the unique charm of Dazhou City. Wolong Villa Wolong Villa is an elegant Japanese garden located on the outskirts of Dazhou City. With beautiful ponds, stone bridges and tea rooms, it's a great place to relax. Visitors can stroll here, enjoy the changing natural scenery of the four seasons, and experience traditional Japanese garden art. Nakamura District Green Park Nakamura District Green Park is a family-friendly green park with spacious lawns and play equipment. This is a good place for local residents and tourists to relax and have fun. They can picnic, take a walk and enjoy the beauty of nature. Dusk: Return to Songshan At the end of the day's journey, take the train back to Songshan City.

When you visit Matsuyama, you often explore not only Matsuyama itself but also the nearby small towns. One of those towns is Ozu City, which I visited. Since it was a weekday in early October, there were hardly any people. It was a quiet and peaceful place. Perhaps because I had just visited Matsuyama Castle, I found this castle to be a bit smaller. However, the significance lies in the fact that this place appeared in 'Suzume's Locking Up'! On the way, I took photos just like in 'Suzume's Locking Up' and also took some on the way up to the castle. I was quite pleased with the photos I took on the way. 📍Location: Iyo-Ozu Station 📍How to get there: 1. Take the JR limited express train from Matsuyama Station and get off at Iyo-Ozu Station 2. Walk for 20-30 minutes (refer to Google Maps) 3. Take the Ozu Circular Bus (board in front of Iyo-Ozu Station) I walked there and took the Ozu Circular Bus on the way back. When you come down from Ozu Castle, there is a large supermarket, and the bus stop sign is across the street from the supermarket. That's the only bus stop near Ozu Castle. The bus may be off by about 5 minutes, but it usually arrives on time, so be sure to take the circular bus.

Ehime's Showa Retro Collection Abounds. 'Pokopen, pokopen, who poked it?' It's a playful phrase that everyone used during games of hide-and-seek or kick the can. [Details of Pokopen Alley & Memory Warehouse] A Showa-era retro space unfolds at this location📍 I'll introduce this spot, divided into 'Pokopen Alley' and 'Memory Warehouse'! Both are on the same premises, so rest assured. 'Pokopen Alley' refers to the plaza outside the Memory Warehouse, where a Showa-era shopping street is held every Sunday (April to November)💡 Here, local shops offer Chinese noodles, croquettes, grilled chicken, and other food stalls, as well as antique, toy, and miscellaneous goods stores. There's also a corner where you can experience old-fashioned play with stilts, soap bubbles, and spinning tops! Sometimes, there are even live stage performances🎶 'Memory Warehouse' features an alley with a pharmacy, police box, barbershop, and general store, as well as a Showa-era living room from the 30s that you can actually enter!

A tourist spot in Ozu City 🌿 Not only are the buildings beautiful, but the gardens are also beautiful, and the Hijikawa River flowing in front of it is also beautiful. It is a designated important cultural property of the country, and a place of historical value. It is a relaxing spot where time flows very slowly and peacefully. #supporttourism #Ehime #spectacularview #supporttourism#spectacularview

#japanhotel Spending a night at NIPPONIA Hotel Ozu Castle Town was like living inside a story shaped by history. The kura room created a sense of depth and calm, combining old wooden elements with comfortable modern touches. Outside, the castle town atmosphere added another layer of charm, making every walk feel reflective and serene. It was a stay that allowed me to experience nostalgia without sacrificing convenience. 📍 NIPPONIA HOTEL OZU CASTLE TOWN #TimelessTravel #JapanHeritage #QuietEscape #HistoricVibes #StayInspired

#japanhotel Staying at NIPPONIA Hotel Ozu Castle Town felt like stepping gently into another era. Set within the historic castle town of Ozu in Ehime, the hotel blends nostalgic charm with modern comfort in a thoughtful way. My kura-style room had a distinctive atmosphere, with traditional architecture and quiet surroundings that made time seem to slow down. Walking through the old streets nearby added to the feeling of traveling between past and present. 📍 NIPPONIA HOTEL OZU CASTLE TOWN #HistoricStay #EhimeTrip #CastleTown #HeritageHotel #SlowTravel

#January Destinations 2026 Miyuki Bridge, located in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture. The bridge itself is a modern reconstruction and may seem ordinary. However, its strategic location is the key. It serves as the best observation platform spanning the Hijikawa River, a first-class river, and directly facing Ozu Castle. Here, one can witness the rare contrast between a wooden restored castle tower and a raging river.

#January Destinations 2026 There are no ticket sellers or professional keepers here. Those guiding, explaining, and even changing the water and feeding the animals at the back are all "Nagahama High School students." This is the legendary "Nagahama Aquarium Club." They've crammed 150 tanks into the school building, housing over 2,000 marine creatures. This isn't a hobby; they must take turns maintaining the systems for these fragile lives in addition to their regular schoolwork. Watching the students in their uniforms (or gym clothes) skillfully operate the filters and explain their expertise to adults, you'll feel a professional spirit of "taking your interests to the extreme." This isn't a commercial facility; it's a battlefield of youth. 📸 Photography Tips: 1. Handwritten Explanation Cards: Photograph the biological explanation cards made by the students themselves. Although handwritten, the content is extremely informative (including scientific names and ecological habits). 2. Uniform Back Views: Photograph the students' backs as they work busily in front of the tanks—a scene imbued with "responsibility." 📍 Attraction Information: • Admission: Completely free.

#JanuaryDestinations2026 Walk across the bridge and carefully examine the red steel trusses. You'll find some uneven pits and holes; these aren't rust, but "World War II bullet holes." In 1945, US Grumman fighter planes strafed this area. These bullet holes penetrated the thick steel plates and are still clearly visible. The Nagahama Bridge is more than just a transportation facility; it's a "surviving veteran." These scars haven't been repaired but have been preserved as historical witnesses. Touching those dents on the cold steel and imagining the roar of warplanes is a more authentic historical experience than any museum. 📝 Key points to observe: 1. Piercing holes: Some bullet holes went straight through the steel frame, allowing you to feel the power of the machine gun fire. 2. Truss structure: Observe the steel sections joined with rivets; this is a characteristic of bridge-building techniques from the old era. 💰 Cost: • Admission: Free.

#January Good Places 2026 Don't just look at the appearance of this Red Bridge, the focus is on its "Bascule Mechanism". This is a "single leaf jump bridge" that uses huge "counterweight blocks" to balance the weight of the bridge deck. Although there are fewer large ships and not many bridges are opened (it will be routinely opened every Sunday at 1 noon), but looking at the steel bridge surface weighing hundreds of tons, accompanied by the sound of alarm slowly rising, revealing the underlying gear and connecting rod structure, the "pure mechanical" operation is very fascinating. This is not the quiet movement of a modern hydraulic system, but the Showa craftsmanship full of metallic friction and weight. The bridge is like a giant leveraged experimental device that perfectly demonstrates the power of physics. 📸 Shooting Strategy: 1. Opening moment: Open on time at 1 noon on Sunday to capture the red bridge deck standing vertically in the air. 2. Counterweight Box: Shoot that huge concrete counterweight box that is the power core that keeps the bridge deck lifted. 📍 Attraction Information: · Bridge Opening Hours: Every Sunday at 13:00. · Visit: Free.

Meals were a highlight, using local ingredients with thoughtful presentation that reflected the town’s heritage. Walking through the quiet surroundings between meals made the stay feel unhurried and deeply relaxing, perfect for resetting both body and mind. 📍 Nipponia Hotel Ozu Castle Town #stay #heritage #relax

#hellonewyear Visiting Ozu Shrine felt calm and grounding, especially in the quiet hours when the wooden buildings stood peacefully against the soft light. I walked slowly around the grounds, noticing the clean lines of the architecture and the gentle sounds of nature around me. The simplicity of the space made it easy to focus and take a short mental break from the city. Standing there, I felt a sense of balance and stillness that encouraged me to pause and breathe deeply. It was a simple visit, yet one that left a lasting impression through its atmosphere rather than grand details. 📍 Ozu Shrine #shrine #quiet #tradition

If you're looking to spend a day away from Matsuyama and prefer to experience everyday Japanese scenery rather than typical tourist spots, Ozu City is a highly satisfying choice. Though small in scale, it offers all the elements of a small-town trip, including a castle, a river, and historic streets. 📍 Location & How to Get There · Matsuyama Station → Ozu Station Take the JR Yosan Line express or local train, approximately 35–45 minutes. · From Ozu Station to the city center (Ozu Castle, old town): Accessible by foot or bus. ⏰ Recommended Travel Time · Half-day to a full day · Arriving in the morning for a leisurely stroll and returning to Matsuyama in the afternoon is the most convenient plan. 💡 Travel Tips · Best visited on a clear day rather than a rainy one. · Since there aren't many shops, it's good to plan meal times in advance. · It's a quiet city, so many places close early in the evening. 🏯 What is Ozu City like? Ozu City is a traditional castle town located in the southwestern part of Ehime Prefecture. Since the Edo period, it has served as a regional administrative and commercial hub. At the heart of the city lies Ozu Castle, and the town's structure, formed along the Hijikawa River, highlights its historical importance in transportation and logistics. Today, Ozu City isn't as flashy as major tourist destinations, but its old town centered around the castle, riverside scenery, and preserved historic shopping streets make it a hidden gem for travelers seeking the "authentic atmosphere of a Japanese small town." Key attractions include: ✔️ The restored wooden structure of Ozu Castle ✔️ A walking trail along the Hijikawa River ✔️ An old town where you'll see more locals than tourists Overall, Ozu City leaves a strong impression as a place that's more about leisurely strolls than an abundance of sights to see.

#hellochristmas Climbing up to Ozu Castle rewards you with more than just history—it’s a breathtaking view over the town and mountains beyond.

Day 4 (Sunday, March 16, 2025) Unomachi - Iyo Ozu - Nakamura. Sightseeing: Unomachi / Ozu Castle / Ozu District.

Photos 4-10: Ozu Maboroshi Shopping Street; Ozu Maboroshi Shopping Street is a retro-style commercial street in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture, named "Maboroshi" (meaning "phantom" or "illusion") because it preserves wooden old houses from the Meiji to Showa periods, full of nostalgic atmosphere.

The alley is lined with softly colored wooden cottages housing handmade workshops, vintage goods stores, and mini cafes, specializing in handmade Japanese paper items, yuzu-themed products, and old-time trinkets.

This mailbox is a red postbox, specifically located on the street near the Hanamachi area in Ozu City. The scene of Rika leaning against the mailbox to send a letter became iconic, and the mailbox carries Rika’s complex feelings for Kanji. The mailbox still exists today, but the house in the background has been demolished or renovated.

The red torii of Ōzu Shrine stands like a gleaming jewel amidst lush greenery, beckoning me to explore. Stepping into this sacred space, I feel enveloped by a tranquil force, as if all my worries have drifted away like distant clouds. Under the torii, light and shadow intertwine, and a gentle breeze carries a refreshing scent. Each step feels like entering a painting, with the surrounding scenery captivating my senses. The shrine's environment is serene, with only the occasional chirping of birds, as if providing a melody for my peaceful journey.

From October to November each year, Wolong Villa, located on the banks of the Higokawa River in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture, welcomes its most poetic season. At this time, the maple and ginkgo trees surrounding the villa are dyed in rich red and yellow hues, complementing the elegant tea house architecture, as if stepping into a serene Edo-period landscape painting. Buildings such as Furoan and Wolong-in are cleverly integrated into the natural terrain, with the river visible just outside the windows, where autumn leaves are reflected on the water, creating a dreamlike scene. In the early morning, the valley is often shrouded in mist, adding a layer of mystery to the entire villa. Strolling along the stone paths, listening to the babbling river and the sound of falling leaves, one forgets the hustle and bustle of the world. This is also a perfect time to enjoy tea; sitting quietly in the tea house, feeling the aroma of wood and the essence of autumn in the air, it is a healing journey for both body and mind.
