Ōzu Castle, located in Ōzu, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, is a historic castle that dates back to the early 14th century. The castle was originally constructed by Utsunomiya Toyofusa and has undergone several reconstructions and restorations over the centuries. Its most notable reconstruction took place in 2004, with efforts to restore it to its Edo-period appearance. Unlike many other Japanese castles, Ōzu Castle features a unique four-story donjon (main keep) with a wooden structure that closely follows traditional architectural methods. The castle is surrounded by a picturesque landscape, including the Hijikawa River, which enhances its historical charm.
