Ozu City is located in the western part of Shikoku, in the region known as Nanyo, and is an area centered around the Ozu Basin, facing the Seto Inland Sea to the north and the Shikoku Mountains to the south. The clear Hijikawa River flows through the center of the city, and as its name suggests, the river curves like an elbow as it runs through the town, bringing many blessings to the city, including nature, history, culture, and local specialties. Remnants of the city's prosperity as a castle town around Ozu Castle during the Edo period still live on the banks of the Hijikawa River.

The items on display here are actually the belongings of a collector in the city, and are displayed after bicycle shops in Ozu closed down. Therefore, all authentic items from that time are on display.
The item in this photo was apparently taken from a candy shop in Ozu.
This is an exhibit that recreates the police box as it was in 1966. I'm sure it will make the person stationed there at the time feel good.
On the left side of the photo, there is also an exhibit that recreates a drug store in Ozu.
This is an exhibition that recreates a tea room in Japan in 1966. It is decorated with a 1966 calendar from a local bank that was distributed around town at the time.
