Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture

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.

This brick warehouse was built over 100 years ago as an orchid warehouse for a silk thread factory. The roof tiles, ginkgo trees, and metasequoia trees that were inherited from the demolition of Ozu Castle in 1898 were planted on the premises, and they became symbols of the area. In recent years, its survival was in danger due to deterioration, but with the help of preservation efforts by local volunteers, the brick warehouse was renovated, and the tables and chairs were both Western antiques and items from local old folk houses, recreating the atmosphere of the Meiji era. It was reborn as the ``Garyu Brick Warehouse''.
