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.

A forest park where you can fully enjoy the vast nature surrounded by trees. The maple trees that grow throughout Inariyama Park are said to have been planted by the feudal lord of Shintani, who brought back about 3,000 saplings from Mt. Takao in Kyoto, a famous spot for autumn leaves. During the fall foliage season, these maples dye the entire forest bright red, creating a fiery red beauty. The best time to see the autumn leaves is from mid-November to early December every year, and many people from inside and outside the prefecture come to see the spectacular scenery.
