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.

We also recommend NIPPONIA HOTEL Ozu Castle Town as a base for sightseeing in Ozu. If you are staying overnight, please read the article below!
①Nagahama Ohashi Bridge
Nagahama Ohashi Bridge is definitely a must-see when sightseeing in Nagahama.
Nagahama Bridge, whose beautiful red color shines on the Hijigawa River, is the oldest movable road bridge in Japan, and is currently open and closed every Sunday from 1:00 p.m.
Nagahama Bridge, which is visited by many tourists from within and outside the prefecture, was built in 1935 and was registered as a national important cultural property in 2014.
Nowadays, Shin-Nagahama Ohashi Bridge was built, but Nagahama Ohashi Bridge is still used by students and local residents and remains as a symbol of the local area.
②Hijikawa Arashi Observation Park
If you are visiting Nagahama, please get up early and watch the ``Hijikawa Arashi'' .
Hijikawa Arashi is a rare natural phenomenon in the world that occurs from around October to March of the following year, when fog that forms in the Ozu Basin on sunny mornings flows out into the river mouth with strong winds.
It is a very beautiful phenomenon, but it is a valuable phenomenon that will not appear unless various conditions are met.
There is also a ``Hijikawa Arashi Forecast Meeting'' run by local residents, so be sure to refer to it when you go!
③Tsunakakeiwa
Along the coast of Nagahama, Ozu, you can see a torii gate built on a rock floating in the sea called Tsunakakeiwa .
Tsunakakeiwa Rock has a long history, and it is said that a rope was hung and a torii gate was built about 1200 years ago.
National Route 378 in the Iyonada Sea, where Tsunakakeiwa is located, is also called the `` Yuyake Koyake Line, '' and it is one of the best driving courses in the prefecture, with stations such as ``Shimonada Station' ' and ``Roadside Station Futami .''
④ Nagako Aquarium
Nagako Aquarium is a free admission aquarium operated by the aquarium club of Nagahama High School.
Approximately 150 species of sea and river creatures are on display, and you can listen to detailed explanations by high school students!
We are currently open by reservation only, and you can make a reservation from the link below.
There are still many sightseeing spots that we could not introduce this time.
