A day full of emotions at Iyozu

If you are planning a trip to Matsuyama, I highly recommend the nearby small town of Iyo-Ozu! Iyo-Ozu, which takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes by train from Matsuyama Station, is the setting for the anime Suzume no Bunkanjo, and is a beautiful travel destination that retains the charm of old Japan. 🏡 Garyu-sanso & Bansenso with a quaint charm One of the most impressive places in Iyo-Ozu is Garyu-sanso and Bansenso. This place, with its tranquil Japanese garden and traditional houses, makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time. In particular, Garyu-sanso has a beautiful view of the Ozu River. Bansenso also has a quaint yet elegant atmosphere, making it the perfect place to stay quietly and heal. A cute and sentimental ‘Suzume no Bunkanjo’ concept cafe A must-visit place for Suzume no Bunkanjo fans! There is a chair cafe in Iyo-Ozu that is inspired by the background of a movie. The entrance is filled with cute props, and the space that reminds you of a scene from a movie was really cute. The food and drinks were also delicious, so it was perfect for spending time leisurely. If you are an animation nerd, you will be able to enjoy a moment of bliss beyond compare! Ozu Castle I didn't have enough time to go up there myself, but Ozu Castle looked really magnificent and cool from afar. It still retains the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese castle, so I definitely want to go up there next time I visit! Travel Tip: Use Free Coupons!
