Very peaceful place with a garden, overlooking the river. Not sure if it’s worth coming all the way from Matsuyama just for this.

A very nice cottage that worths a visit in Iyo-Ozu.

Very nice villa, feel like in another time. Spectacular views and atmosphere. The lady is very nice and explained everything to me, showing me the light tricks and the decorations meanings. 500¥ per adult and 800¥ combined with the Ozu castle (save 200).

Seriously and desirously amazing. Back story to this quiet villa as an important part of Japanese history. For architects and landscapers it’s just bliss

I was there early morning on a very snowy day. The beauty and tranquility of this place is beyond imagination. Pinnacle of architectural aesthetics.

A masterpiece of architecture overlooking the picturesque Hiji river.This was built around 1907, by a Japanese merchant. The design which resembling Kyoto imperial villas such as Katsura Rikyu and Shugakuin Rikyu took 10 years to make. Around 4 years with a number of 9000 artisans were required to construct it. It's only a 30 minutes walk from Ozu castle and one of the best tourist actractions in Ozu. Staff was friendly.

A beautiful Japanese traditional house. So famous that it maybe crowded with group tourists.

amazing!!

It was okay. Fairly standard reconstructed castle. Compared to others around Japan I'd say it's a more faithful reconstruction, but on the downside the area around it is not that interesting and there aren't a lot of exhibits inside. The weakest of the three places you can visit on the one ticket tour of the city.

The main tower is a reconstruction using old building methods so it still has the authentic feeling. The watch tower have however, been the same. Great scenery and you can rent the armor, traditional costume for a reasonable price, around 500 yen.

Nothing distinguishing really, neighborhood didn’t have much else to see either - I’d say go to Uwajima instead.

beautiful castle in Ozu city.

This little countryside castle was really interesting. The inside has been recently remodeled, but it still has the old feel to it. The grounds are well kept, and the staff was very friendly. We stopped here on our way to Matsuyama. It was a nice little town to visit.

Very unique castle restored using traditional carpentry techniques. Great view at sunset. The interior ladders are quite steep, but you get a feeling for what the building was really like.

It's a beautiful sight to behold up on its little hill overlooking the river. I could really imagine its lord peering out over the town hundreds of years ago, especially since so much of the surrounding area still possesses a rather 'vintage' feel. While there was not much English support in the castle itself, there was an English pamphlet that covered everything you needed to know to enjoy a visit to the castle.

Nice little castle in Ozu. It's a recent reconstruction and contains good information about the area and its history. You'll have to walk a slight incline to get here. The closest parking lot is paid but there's a free one that's just another block away. There are also options for overnight stays at the castle too.

Completed in 2004, Ozu castle reconstruction is based on historical document. It offers a small but beautiful experience of a castle dominating the river. As it is not surrounded by buildings like most of Japanese castles are today, the view is beautiful and serene.

After visiting a couple of castles in Japan this is just another one in the city Most of Japanese castles look pretty much similar. There isn’t any big noticeable difference in speaking of outlook appearance And all of them are completely reconstructed too well. Wouldn’t it be better if they just leave the castles the way it has been left ? I think it would be amazing even though it’s only the ruins that we’re looking at.

Many area closure and barely saw 20 cats. Cats population highly decreased. The boat ride was nice, but the time spent on the highland was really not the way I've picture it. Saw 1 cat in very bad condition eye and face were destroyed by infection.

I dont see any small cat "kitten" ????

Hopefully some helpful tips: The island is currently not really open for people from outside the island. a) its not a tourist attraction b) the protect the population for sickness People are only allowed to be at the pier. So 8h there is maybe a bit boring. So I would recommend the second ferry. Which would give one hour to play with the gets. (Only two ferries to and from the island per day) You do not need to bring food or water for the cats! There are also not 200 cats. Maybe some come out when it’s autumn or spring but in summer maybe 20 cats hang out around the pier. The cats get fed by the captain of the ferry twice a day. He also looks after the water. The captain feeds the cats when the ferry arrives so just follow him and you will find the cats. And the residents also feed and give water to the cats outside the main feeding area. The cats are looked after and yes some old cats are just old and look therefore not the best. But they have been sterilized some wear collars and it looks like the ship captains favorite cat is the one without a tail. There is a place/ hut at the pier where you can pick up cat toys, leave cat food, rest and with a toilet. During the summer months the cats are mostly in the shade and outside the visitor area. Currently the island has also some construction work around the old school building done. Its beautiful and sad at the same time. Beautiful nature and sad to see that one day there will be only cats left on the island. And even the cats will be gone one day because they are sterilized. Cat with missing part of the ear= sterilized cat I spoke with one of the residents of the island. She was super nice and spoke with me about the island and its shrines. She was also interested to hear more about where I am from and why I came all the way to her island. If you speak Japanese, I highly recommend to speak with the residents. After all you are basically in their home and guests on their island. At least greet them in Japanese and say thank you. The island is perfect for people who love animals, nature, quietness, Japanese history and loneliness. Its not a tourist place at all. Again currently only pier allowed. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk ;)

I love cat so much this island. is my favorite island in the world. my dream is to have a cat

The cat were so fat flufy the place were a ton of nice people and beatiful sunset

wow this place is very nice and cool they have many cats there and i really love cats i recommend going here if ur a cat fan

I don’t even like cats they’re scary for me there I was just there at MY DOUL did they break my mind somebody posted about they like cats (they suck)

The cats look so so cute and I'm a cat person I'll be dreaming abt this place until I go there

This cat island is not what we expected, either in terms of the cats, or the island itself. It’s reached via a ferry journey from Nagahama. If you go on the 14:30 ferry and come back on the 16:00 ferry you will have time to explore most of what is accessible on the island. The ferry arrives at a pretty harbour in what appears to be a paradise island. There will be cats at the harbour. Make sure to bring food – that’s why they have obligingly come to meet you. There were not as many cats as we thought there would be. Maybe a few dozen at most. They mostly seemed ok, although some of them looked as if they might be a bit sick. Some are quite thin. After meeting the cats, we wanted to look around the island. We walked up to the temple near the harbour, which is clearly maintained. Other than that, most buildings and pathways are closed off or derelict. We had read that the island has only a small human population and we didn’t really meet anyone who wasn’t a visitor. It seems that most locals have abandoned the island, leaving a tiny community of just half a dozen older folk, living around the harbour. It must once have been a thriving island though. There are some big buildings, like a municipal block on the hill above the harbour, completely overgrown and broken down. It’s beautiful, in a way, to see how nature has taken over. It is full of insects and spiders. Most notable are the sea slaters, woodlouse-type insects that occupy every roadway and building. As you walk, they scatter and then, if you stand still, they crawl back. They must live for a long time because some are tiny and some are up to about 2 inches long. The most shocking thing about the island is the plastic. If you walk along the harbour wall and look down between the rocks, or if you go onto the beach, there is a plastic littered everywhere. Little bits and big bits and all sorts of things. It is an interesting place to visit, but it feels neglected. Fun fact: Aoshima, literally means, Blue Island, maybe for how blue the sea is here. (Forgive me if I have got that Japanese translation wrong.)

I want to go here!! Cats are my life

Aoshima Island is one of about a dozen "cat islands" around Japan, small places where there are significantly more feline residents than people. In Aoshima more than a hundred cats prowl the island, curling up in abandoned houses or strutting about in the quiet fishing village. Cats outnumber humans six to one on the island. Recently becoming popular online, tiny Aoshima has seen a steep rise in tourist visits, overwhelming the handful of permanent residents.

I like it, I will give you five stars

I visited in Q4 2022. Probably the most widely publicized cat island, Aoshima 青島 was not what I expected! Located on the northernwestern Shikoku coast, a short ride from the port of Nagahama 長濱. There were a lot of cats, but many were a tad less healthy than cats on other islands I visited. Most were on the thin side and quite a few had serious injuries, most likely from fighting for food. There are few residents and from what I could see visitors weren't common. I came across a few volunteers from the mainland, helping de-flea the cats and trim their claws. Unlike other cat islands, the few residents (< 10?) were NOT terribly welcoming. In fact they had barricaded off most parts of the island except for the dock and a "community area" where many cats hung out. Venturing into other areas (shrine, backstreets and alleys, trail to lighthouse, etc.) was met with what I can only describe as hostility and suspicion, which I had not expected, least of all from Japanese. I could understand if they were concerned with over-tourism and visitors disturbing residents but at present Aoshima probably suffers more from under-tourism. Besides, those were public roads they had no right to block. So, altogether not the most pleasant experience. Cats 100+. Bring food -- any eateries shown on Google Maps are either defunct, closed much of the year or are more like local B&Bs that only accept seasonal pre-bookings via phone (in Japanese).

Bro so many cute Cars there🥰🥰🥰

The shrine winds it way up the mountain. The observation deck is at the start of the mountain. Was a cool experience beeing there all by myself. Sadly i didnt have time to walk up he whole path.

good shrine

「すくなひこなじんじゃ」と読みます。県道沿いに建つ鳥居の横の空き地にクルマを停めて、参道を200mほど上がってくると参籠殿があり、その前の階段を50m上がると少彦名神社です。 祭神の少彦名命(すくなひこなのみこと)は、医薬・知識・酒造などの神です。それもあって、奉納されている絵馬は病気平癒や受験祈願に関するものが多いです。 メジャーな存在ではないので、訪れる人も少なく寂れた雰囲気ですが、修復されて間もない宙に浮いた空中御殿のような参籠殿のインパクトはなかなかです。 2022年5月、鳥居周辺の森が広範囲に伐採されました。肱川の護岸工事に伴い県道が嵩上げされるため、工事の及ぶ範囲の樹木を全て伐採して、鳥居や常夜灯は奥に移設するようです。これから風景は大きく変わっていくのでしょう。

(Translated by Google) Hinobori, I'm going to the shrine in Ozu that Mr. Iyo told me about. It's a little steep uphill from the entrance, there's a demonstration, there's a small Kiyomizu Temple in Ozu, there's a lot to see, the torii gate at the entrance hasn't collapsed, today I'm only going to see the shrine in the foreground. If you are feeling energetic, you should go all the way to the top of the mountain, so please wear sports shoes 😊 Just looking at the long stairs next to the shrine made me feel depressed, so I headed home in a hurry. It was hot today 😄 (Original) ヒノボリ、イヨさんに、教えてもらった大洲の神社行く、入口から急坂少し大変、デモ、大洲の、ちっちゃい清水寺、見るトコたくさん、入口の鳥居は崩れてない、今日は手前の拝殿だけっす、元気なお方は一番奥山頂まで行くかな、運動靴で行ってください😊拝殿横の長い階段見ただけで意気消沈、スゴスゴと帰りました、今日は暑かった😄

(Translated by Google) The hanging Sankago-den building, which was repaired in 2014, was stunning. Thank you for allowing me to freely tour the inside. However, perhaps due to the renovation work on the Hijikawa River at the entrance, the approach road was closed to traffic, and the precincts also appeared to be in disrepair. The botanical garden commemorating its completion was also covered in weeds. That's too bad. (Original) 2014年に修理が竣工した懸造りの参籠殿が見事でした。自由に内部も見学できて、ありがとうございました。 しかしながら、入口の肱川改修工事の影響もあるのでしょうが、参道も通行止めになっていて、境内も荒れた様子。竣工記念の植物園も雑草に埋もれていました。残念でした。

(Translated by Google) Sukunahikona Shrine is located at the foot of Mt. Yanase, a little away from the city. Here you will find a splendid aerial tower called Sanro-den, built on the legs of a rare hanging structure (also known as cliff-zukuri), and if you climb up the stone steps in front of the Sanro-den entrance, you will find Sukahikona. A shrine/worship hall is built right in front of you, and divine spirits are enshrined here. The temple was even more beautiful than I expected! Many votive tablets had their wishes written on them and hung on them. Although I didn't climb it that day, there is an old torii gate further up from the back of the shrine grounds, and a long stone staircase that leads up to the torii gate.Ahead of that is the ruins of a Kagura shrine on the way, although the road is quite rough, and if you climb up to near the top of the mountain... ·It seems that you can see the mausoleum and the shrine, but you will probably need to be prepared to climb a mountain to get there;⁠-⁠). ★For reference... As of December 2022, the prefectural road raising work is being carried out mainly on weekdays near the uphill road leading to the shrine (Shimomiya/Torii side) due to the construction of the Hijigawa river bank, and the parking spaces along the prefectural road are being It is difficult for vehicles to enter and exit the building, especially during construction periods. It's not a problem if you come by two-wheeled vehicle, but if you're coming by car, it's best to visit on Sundays (what about holidays? I don't know) when construction is closed. Additionally, due to the construction, the torii gate and lantern that had been erected on the Shimomiya side were dismantled and are now lying on the uphill road.

(Translated by Google) It was a shrine reminiscent of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which had a hanging structure! (Original) 懸け造りの清水寺を思わせる神社でした！

Google maps is flaky and often out of date in Japan

歴史ある由緒正しいお寺らしいです。弘法大師もここで修業したことがあるそうです。あと景色がいいですね。大洲平野と保内が一望できます。 道は長浜方面から行くとかなり狭いです。１台がやっとという道が長く続くので絶対にお勧めしません。保内方面からが無難でしょう。

(Translated by Google) If the weather is nice, it is a temple with a very nice view. However, please be careful if you are unfamiliar with driving, as you will have to drive on winding mountain roads for a long time. I feel that it was good to have a special sacred place instead of 88 temples ... because it would have been quite terrible for the walking pilgrimage ... (Original) 天気は良ければ、非常に眺望のいいお寺さんです。ただ、くねくねした山道を長く走らなければいけないため、運転に不慣れな方はご注意ください。 八十八か所のお寺ではなく、別格霊場でよかったような気がします…歩きお遍路さんにとってはかなり酷になっていたでしょうから…

(Translated by Google) It is a special temple and is located at a high altitude and has a certain number of stairs. The next destination, Kumakōgen-cho, was about 80 kilometers away, and it took more than an hour by car. Be careful if you have a tight schedule. There was a very large statue of Daishi, and the mountain path was a pleasant and wonderful place. (Original) 別格寺院様で標高の高い場所にありある程度の階段がある寺院様です。 次に目指していた久万高原町のお札所迄はおよそ80キロ強位の距離があり、車で１時間以上かかりました。 タイトな予定を組まれている方は注意が必要です。 とても大きなお大師様の像があり、山道は気持ちよく素敵な場所でした。

(Translated by Google) This time we rode a bicycle up the mountain. After having lunch in Yawatahama City, we went up the mountain along Prefectural Road 248. Seven kilometers of the road was completely uphill. After the visit to the shrine, we headed towards Osu City. Kanazan Desekiji Temple (prefectural designated monument) is a sacred mountain with an altitude of 812 meters. It is the main temple of Omuro Sect and a famous temple that has passed down 1300-year-old lanterns. It is also designated as part of the Seto Inland Sea National Park. The "bronze bell" said to be enshrined by Takatora Todo is designated as a national important cultural property, and the "seated wooden statue of Gautama Buddha" in the main hall is designated as a prefectural designated tangible cultural property. From the top of the mountain, you can see Kyushu, China, and Mount Shizui and Mount Shikoku in the distance. The rising sun rising from the sea of ​​clouds is particularly spectacular and leaves a deep impression on tourists. The vast land is covered with natural forest, making it a majestic sanctuary filled with spiritual energy. (Original) 此次是騎單車上山，在八幡濱市區吃完午餐後，沿248縣道上山，有七公里的路段完全是上坡，參拜結束後往大洲市前進。 金山出石寺（縣指定紀念物） 是一座海拔 812 米的神山，是大室宗總寺，傳承了 1300 年曆史的燈籠的名剎。它也被指定為瀨戶內海國立公園的一部分。 據說是藤堂高虎所供奉的「銅鐘」被指定為國家重要文化財產，本堂的「木造釋迦牟尼如來坐像」被指定為縣指定有形文化財產。 從山頂可以看到中國九州，遠處可以看到石錘山、四國山，而從雲海上升起的朝陽尤其壯觀，給遊客留下了深刻的印象。 廣闊的土地上覆蓋著天然森林，使其成為一個充滿靈氣的宏偉聖地。

(Translated by Google) Top 20 Sacred Sites in Shikoku No. 7 Kanayama Izushiji Temple is It is located in Mt. Izushiyama, Ozu, Ehime, and the road is well maintained, but the slope is quite steep and there are some narrow spots that are difficult to climb with a camper. At the temple, I was taught a wide shortcut downhill, but it was very difficult and tiring for a camper. I thought this was also part of my training. If there are tough ups in life, there are also downs. Izushiji Temple is located almost at the top of the mountain, and the view is spectacular, and it is a very impressive and large temple. The temple staff was kind and welcomed us. Thank you. Although it is a magnificent temple, it is probably not included in the 88 temples. Please come and visit the 88 Sacred Sites. This is a temple I would like to visit again.

(Translated by Google) It's a pretty rough road. I went from the Nagahama area, but on the way back I went through the Yawatahama area. Well, I'm not sure which one is better. Although it took a lot of effort to get there by car, it was well worth the trip and you can see the wonderful scenery. There are quite a few stairs, but there are spider webs and rust on the handrail in the middle, but I guess I can go up them. The woman at the cashier's office was very pleasant and gave us a pleasant reception. (Original) かなりの酷道です。長浜方面から行きましたが、帰りは八幡浜方面へ抜けてみました。まぁどっちもどっちかなぁと言う、クネクネ道です。でも苦労して車ですが行った甲斐もあり、素晴らしい景色が眺められますよ。階段も結構ありますが真ん中の手すりに蜘蛛の巣張ってたり錆びたりしてますが、まぁ上がれるかな。納経所の女性の方はとても感じ良く、気持ちの良い接待してくれました。

(Translated by Google) Special sacred place No. 7 built on the summit of Mt. Izushi. The altitude is over 800m. There are multiple routes uphill, including the Nagahama Town side, the Yawatahama City Hito side, and the Ozu City Kamisukai or Hirano sides, but all of them have many winding curves and rolling slopes. The road is long too! The higher you climb, the narrower the road becomes. In particular, the 3-4km section just before the junction from the prefectural road to the temple mountain road is a mountain pass with poor visibility. The road width is getting even narrower! It's a rough road that's fine for motorcycles, but difficult for regular cars or more. However, it seems to be a popular route for cyclists, and I hear it's a very suitable route for hill climb training. The mountain path from the fork to the temple continues to be steep, but the path is wide. There is a large parking lot in front of the temple entrance. A magnificent statue of Kobo Daishi has been erected in the plaza in front of the stone steps at the entrance. Once you climb the first long stone steps...you will arrive at the magnificent Sanmon gate, which gives you a sense of history and formality. Once you ring the bell, put your hands together, and pass through the gate, you will find yourself in front of a spacious, well-maintained temple grounds. There is Goma-do Hall, which has a majestic appearance. Surroundings are lodgings, temples, and rest areas. If you climb the stone steps further, you will find a well-cleaned approach to the shrine. The only observation space with a bench offers a panoramic view of Ozu, and statues of deer and cows, which are closely related to the temple, are enshrined on the side of the approach. Here, the statue of Juganon and the Daishi-do Hall stand dignified. Climb the stone steps further and you will finally reach the summit of the main mountain. The main hall of Kanayama Izushiji Temple stands here with majesty. The principal image is the Senju Kanzeon Bodhisattva. From the edge of the summit, you can see a splendid view of the townscape of Kawanoishi and the Uwa Sea from between the trees.
