店舗の説明
大洲城 は、元弘元(1331)年の鎌倉時代末期に築城されたと伝わり、 その後、藤堂高虎らによって大規模に修築がなされた。明治21 (1888)年に老朽化により、惜しくも天守は解体された。 しかし、地元大洲の住民の熱意により平成16(2004)年に復元された。江戸期の木組み模型など豊富に資料が残っていたため、正確に当時の姿を復元できたことはとても意義深い。 19.15mの高さは戦後復元された木造天守として日本一。 使用された木材はすべて国産材で、城内部では城郭建築特有の木組みを見ることができる。江戸時代から残る台所櫓や南隅櫓など4棟の櫓は国の重要文化財に指定されている。
Ozu Castle was built in the late Kamakura period in 1331, and it was extensively renovated by Todo Takatora and others. Unfortunately, the castle tower was dismantled due to deterioration in 1888 during the Meiji era. However, it was restored in 2004 thanks to the enthusiasm of the local residents of Ozu. It was very significant that the exact appearance at that time could be restored because there were plenty of materials such as wooden models from the Edo period. With a height of 19.15m, the reconstructed wooden castle tower is the tallest in Japan. All of the wood used was domestically sourced, and visitors can see the unique wooden structure of castle architecture inside. Four yagura (turrets) including the kitchen yagura and the minami-kado yagura, which have been preserved since the Edo period, are designated as important cultural properties of Japan.

Ozu Castle, also known as "大洲城" in Japanese, is located at Ozu 903, Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. The castle was originally built in 1331 during the Kamakura period, and was later extensively renovated by Todo Takatora and others.
