Ozu 大洲市, Ehime Prefecture

Ozu (Japanese: 大洲市) is a city in Ehime Prefecture, in Shikoku, Japan. It covers 432 sq km (167 sq mi) and has a population of 48,000 people.

The present limits of Ozu dates to 2005, when the city annexed neighboring the towns of Hijikawa and Nagahama and the village of Kawabe. The most important landmark in the city is Ozu Castle, built in 1331 by Utsunomiya Toyofusa. The present structure was only completed in 2004 as the original castle was destroyed in 1888.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
