Overlook the Hijii River from the Wooden-Restored Tower

About this spot

A symbol of Ōzu City, known as 'the Little Kyoto of Iyo,' this wooden-restored tower stands majestically on the banks of the Hijii River, reconstructed based on Edo-period drawings. The tower's interior evokes the warmth of wooden construction, and from the top floor, you can take in sweeping views of the Hijii River and the castle-town streetscape. A central tourist attraction that delights castle enthusiasts of all ages.
