When visiting Matsuyama in Ehime, I highly recommend setting aside time to explore Ozu.
The hometown of the male lead in "Tokyo Love Story" is in Ozu.
I rented a bike and first went up to Ozu Castle, then visited Garyu Sanso to enjoy the beautiful views of the Hijikawa River, and later followed the map to the Red Brick Hall. In one day, I got to experience a historic castle, a Japanese garden, and English-style brick architecture.
I really liked the quiet, relaxed atmosphere around Ozu Castle. It’s perfect for a slower pace of life.

For Cup Noodles fans, visiting the Nissin Cup Noodles Museum should be an experience that fully delights all five senses. From the building to the souvenirs, even the manhole covers feature the little yellow chick.
When you come to the Cup Noodles “kingdom,” you of course have to make your own cup noodles. Everything from decorating the cup to creating your own flavor really brings out your inner child.
I also learned that Momofuku Ando was actually from Chiayi, Taiwan. His inspiring life story made the visit even more uplifting. -

There’s an English-style Peter Rabbit garden on Mt. Rokko, and you can find little surprises in just about every corner.
From Rokko Garden Terrace, you can look out over Kobe, Wakayama, and other areas along Osaka Bay. The view is as colorful and dazzling as opening a jewelry box, and the night scenery sparkles like brilliant gems!
There’s also a ranch and a music box museum here, and you can even make your own music box as a souvenir. -

Dotonbori is a great place to eat, have fun, and walk around.
The flashy, lively atmosphere is incredibly exciting! -
