Ozu Shrine, established in 1914 through the merger of three local shrines, offers a serene escape on a small hill at the eastern edge of Ozu's castle town. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the town from the shrine grounds. Originally founded in 1331, the shrine is dedicated to Okuninushi and Kotoshironushi. A notable feature is the Showa-era lantern (Showa To), built in 1928 to commemorate Emperor Showa's enthronement. The shrine is a 5-minute drive from Iyo-Ozu Station. Consider visiting in the afternoon to enjoy the views and tranquil atmosphere.
