About Ozu
Ozu City is located in the western part of Shikoku, in a region known as Nanyo. Centered around the Ozu Basin, the city stretches from the Seto Inland Sea in the north to the Shikoku Mountains in the south.
At its heart flows the pristine Hiji River, curving through the town like an elbow—true to its name's origin. This meandering river has blessed the region with abundant natural beauty, historical treasures, and local specialties. Once a thriving castle town during the Edo period, the spirit of its prosperous past still lingers along the riverbanks.
