Introducing photogenic spring flower spots in Ozu
In Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture, various flowers such as cherry blossoms and azaleas are in full bloom after mid-March, and colorful colors decorate the castle town of Ozu.
Among them, this time we will introduce 5 spots that you would like to visit this spring. It's also a popular photo spot, so be sure to visit when it's in full bloom!
We also recommend ``NIPPONIA HOTEL Ozu Castle Town'' as a base for sightseeing in Ozu. If you are staying overnight, please also refer to the article below.
1. Ozu Castle [Cherry Blossoms]
When talking about spring in Ozu, the cherry blossoms at Ozu Castle cannot be overlooked.
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom at the beginning of April every year, adding beautiful color to the black-and-white castle tower, which is a symbol of Ozu.
The ``Tourist Cherry Blossom Festival'' is also held to coincide with the cherry blossom season, so be sure to check it out.
Also, when you come to Ozu Castle, we recommend that you also take a tour inside the castle. The castle tower has been faithfully rebuilt from wood, so you can see the impressive wooden structure.
2. Mt.Tomisu[Azalea]
About 60,000 azaleas are in full bloom on Mt.Tomisu from late April to mid-May every year, painting the area near the summit pink.
It looks as if Mt.Tomisu is wearing a pink hat, and you can enjoy the azaleas in full bloom from anywhere in the city.
Mt.Tomisu Park at the top has playground equipment, so it's also recommended for families with children.
Additionally, the "Azalea Festival" is held every year during the azalea season. Please check this out as well.
3. Riverbed plaza in front of the field [Nanohana]
Various flowers bloom in each season at the "Hatanomae Riverbed Square" along the Hijigawa River, but in spring, the area is dyed yellow with rape blossoms.
The best time to see these flowers is around March, and many people from outside the city come to see them when they are in full bloom.
There is also a multipurpose plaza, so parents and children can enjoy sports together after viewing the rape blossoms.
4. Maruyama Park [Rhododendron]
Maruyama Park in Hijigawa-cho, Ozu City is also known as Rhododendron Valley, and about 3,000 rhododendrons bloom from mid-April to late April.
When the area is in full bloom, not only rhododendrons but also azaleas and wildflowers bloom, and you can see brightly colored flowers.
The Rhododendron Festival is also held during the rhododendron blooming period.
5. Flower Park Ozu [Tulip]
In the spring, Flower Park Ozu is filled with colorful tulips in full bloom.
In addition to spring, at the flower park you can enjoy seasonal flowers such as marigolds and cosmos in autumn.
There is also a parking lot and plaza, so you can feel safe bringing your children along.
