Garyu Sanso, the prefecture's most famous building

Garyu Sanso in Ozu City is a villa built over a period of 10 years starting around 1897 by Torajiro Kawachi, who made his fortune in the wood wax trade.

You can enjoy the beauty of Japanese architecture and elaborate gardens.

In addition, Garyu Sanso has been designated as an Important Cultural Property by the national government, and in 2011 it received one star in the Michelin Green Guide Japan.

Garyu Sanso

795-0012 411-2 Ozu, Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture

Garyu Sanso is a 10,000m2 mountain villa overlooking Garyu-buchi, the most scenic spot in the Hijikawa River basin. It is said that Kato Yasutsune, the third lord of the Ozu domain, named it Garyu (Garyu) because Mt. Horai resembles a dragon lying down. 　The three buildings, Garyu-in, Furo-an and Chito-an, are all masterpieces of refined taste, and the borrowed landscape garden, which incorporates the mountains and the natural scenery of the Hijikawa River and Nyohoji Riverbank, displays an elegant harmony between nature and man-made, and shows different faces with each season. 　It can be said that the almost forgotten "spirit of tea" and "spirit of Japan" still live on in the charming views from the garden and Garyu Sanso.
