Full-Day Private Nostalgic Tour through Ozu and Uchiko
Duration
6 to 7 hours
Overview
-
Uchiko Town and Ozu City, are areas rich in nature. In the days of the samurai, Ozu City prospered as a castle town, while Uchiko Town prospered as an industrial town. The area was particularly active in the production of a traditional craft called "mokuro", also known as Japan wax, and the old streets are still lined with traditional architecture built in those days.
Ozu Castle offers a panoramic view of the city centre and its picturesque cityscape.
The castle town, which escaped the air raids during World War II, still has many old buildings standing. In particular, the Garyu Sanso is a masterpiece of Japanese beauty, and has been listed in the Michelin Guide.
At the Ozu Washi Kaikan, you can enter a washi paper factory, a traditional craft that has been around for more than 1,000 years, and watch skilled craftsmen at work right before your eyes.
