#AustraliaFlightEvent 🚊Iyo-Ozu Station Iyo-Ozu Station is a quiet train station near Matsuyama, and its old-fashioned appearance is charming. The old platform and the quiet scenery around it make you feel like you've traveled back in time. It's also a spot loved by photographers! It's a good place to stop by on the way to Uchiko or Shimonada. If you have enough time on the train, I recommend taking a walk around the nearby town. Ozu Castle, Garyusanso, and Bansenjo are also good places to visit nearby. If you want to feel the simple but warm atmosphere of the Japanese countryside, don't miss it!

When you visit Matsuyama, you often explore not only Matsuyama itself but also the nearby small towns. One of those towns is Ozu City, which I visited. Since it was a weekday in early October, there were hardly any people. It was a quiet and peaceful place. Perhaps because I had just visited Matsuyama Castle, I found this castle to be a bit smaller. However, the significance lies in the fact that this place appeared in 'Suzume's Locking Up'! On the way, I took photos just like in 'Suzume's Locking Up' and also took some on the way up to the castle. I was quite pleased with the photos I took on the way. 📍Location: Iyo-Ozu Station 📍How to get there: 1) Take the JR limited express train from Matsuyama Station and get off at Iyo-Ozu Station 2) Walk for 20-30 minutes (refer to Google Maps) 3) Take the Ozu Circular Bus (board in front of Iyo-Ozu Station) I walked there and took the Ozu Circular Bus on the way back. When you come down from Ozu Castle, there is a large supermarket, and the bus stop sign is across the street from the supermarket. That's the only bus stop near Ozu Castle. The bus may be off by about 5 minutes, but it usually arrives on time, so be sure to take the circular bus.

This time, I'd like to introduce Aoshima in Ehime Prefecture, commonly known as "Ehime's Cat Island" 🐱 ▶︎You can get there from "Nagahama Port". ▶︎There are only two flights per day. To make sure that no one is unable to return from Aoshima, the second flight to Aoshima can only accommodate the same number of passengers as the first. In other words, if the first flight reaches capacity, you will not be able to sightsee on the second flight... If you go on the first flight and return on the second flight, your stay will be about 8 hours. There are no notable facilities other than playing with the cats, but I was able to relax and enjoy my time there. (I also made friends with other tourists) 🐱Access to Nagahama Port🐱 ▶︎About an hour by car west from Matsuyama, the prefectural capital🚗 ▶︎By train, it takes about an hour on the JR Yosan Line from Matsuyama Station to Iyonagahama Station🚃It's a few minutes walk from there🚶♂️ ⚠️Please note that there are only trains every 1-2 hours ▶︎Address: Nagahama Port Parking Lot, 1030-16 Nagahama, Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture #Cat Island #Aoshima #Cat Island #Ehime Trip #Ehime Tourism #Shikoku Trip #Shikoku Tourism #Absolutely Free Trip

Having traveled from Hakodate to Kumamoto before, I've stayed at many places across Japan. This hotel revitalizes historic buildings along ancient streets into stylish yet comfortable guest rooms. Each room carries its own legacy - some were originally sake cellars, others luxurious merchant residences. Learning about each building's history and imagining life in those eras is part of Japan's unique lodging charm. This visit took me to Ozu, Ehime's ancient capital, where stone-paved streets beneath Ozu Castle resonate with timeless atmosphere. The property features 26 traditional Japanese buildings - castle-view dining halls, courtyards, inns, and even a theme park recreating an old townscape, creating an incredible Japanese cultural wonderland. I stayed in [Room YUKI802], a renovated residence originally belonging to Umajiro Imaoka, founder of Imaoka Silk Mill who supported Ozu's modern industries. The second-floor windows overlook a garden with a grand plum tree. The room preserves period charm through decorative alcoves, built-in cabinets, cocoon-shaped lamps, and silk scrolls showcasing Ozu's textile heritage - all blending historical authenticity with breathtaking design. NIPPONIA HOTEL Ozu Castle Town • Unique Experience: Japan's largest decentralized hotel complex with 26 buildings and 31 rooms, all converted from historic structures. Guests enjoy a "one-night castle lord" stay, immersed in Edo-period ambiance from centuries ago. • Room Features: Windows, tatami floors, earthen entryways, and traditional furnishings showcase local history, while modern amenities ensure comfortable stays amidst preserved architectural heritage.

#budgetairlines If you’re planning to explore Japan without breaking the bank, Jetstar Japan is a fantastic option. I recently flew from Narita to Matsuyama for around $50 round trip, thanks to one of their frequent sales. The flight itself took just 90 minutes, and everything from check-in to landing was smooth and on time. Jetstar often runs limited-time promotions, so it’s worth checking their website regularly if you’re flexible with your dates. Matsuyama is packed with sightseeing spots—from the famous Dogo Onsen, one of Japan’s oldest hot springs, to the charming town of Ozu, just a short trip away. For such a low fare, this flight opened up a whole region to explore! Why I recommend Jetstar Japan for domestic travel: ・Incredible deals (I paid ~$50 round trip during a sale!) ・Short, comfortable flights between major cities ・Great way to access lesser-known areas like Ehime Prefecture 📍From Narita Airport (Tokyo) to Matsuyama Airport (Ehime Prefecture) #JetstarJapan #BudgetAirlines #DomesticTravelJapan #EhimeTrip #JapanOnABudget #DogoOnsen #HiddenJapan #TripcomCommunity #TravelSmart
