Nipponia Hotel Ozu Castle Town

The staff, food, and facilities were all wonderful. Because it is an old house, the lintel is low and you can hit your head if you are not careful, so it would have been even better if they had let us know when we checked in.

When my family went around Shikoku during summer vacation, my husband and I stayed there with our 12-year-old and 15-year-old children. I was originally looking for a place to stay overnight before heading to Dogo from the Shimanto area, and I found it on Google Maps, but I don't think I would have ever discovered Ozu if I hadn't found this hotel in the first place. [About the whole] This hotel is a renovated old private house located in an area of ​​Ozu that is lined with old townscapes, and the main office, restaurant, lounge, and accommodation facilities are scattered throughout the area in the form of detached houses or rowhouses. doing. The location of the reception and parking lot was a little difficult to understand, but the staff explained it carefully. We were told that the place we stayed was originally the home of the Murakami family, who were successful in the Japanese candle business, and they explained the interesting history of each of the old houses. Being able to enjoy the city while experiencing the unknown history that has been passed down in local areas, rather than the famous history that is known throughout the country, made this trip very worthwhile. It's not just a reproduction of an old folk house, but a very well-designed hotel. In addition, the staff provided attentive and attentive service, and I was able to have a very comfortable stay. [Meals] Meals will be eaten at a designated old private house instead of in your room, but if you are far from where you are staying, you will be provided with a car to pick you up and drop you off. Dinner was like a creative course meal, and I was very satisfied with both the quality and quality. The sophisticated presentation and taste set it apart from the typical local luxury inns and hotels. The staff member who was in charge of our table explained the ingredients and dishes in great detail, and also answered our questions carefully. Also, when I checked out on my way home, the front desk staff handed me a handwritten thank you message card, which made me feel very considerate. Breakfast was about a minute's walk from the room, but it was a pure Japanese meal that used a lot of local ingredients, and I enjoyed it slowly and deliciously. [Room] The room we stayed in was a detached row house, with a two-story building.The first floor had a washroom, toilet, and a large bathroom with a cypress bath, and the second floor had a double bed. It was 55 square meters, consisting of a room, a Japanese-style room (we had a family of four, so we had two futons), and a verandah (wide veranda). The rooms are very clean, and although they have been renovated from old folk houses, they are designed with the comfort of a hotel room in mind, including air conditioning, washlets, coffee makers, and bathrooms. Also, the cypress bath on the first floor had a very large bathroom and bathtub, so I was able to enjoy a relaxing bath with my child. The rooms face a courtyard-like area, and when you enter from the courtyard, there is an entrance door with a private lock for the room, and there is a small but beautiful front garden, which can be seen from each room and bathroom. can. There is also air conditioning everywhere, and you can precisely set the temperature in each room. [Amenity] There is a premium lounge for guests in the courtyard facing the room, where they have all kinds of drinks, including coffee and tea, as well as champagne, wine, sake, shochu, beer and soft drinks. I was impressed and impressed to see that they have a complete set of tools and can all be used for free. On the day of arrival, drink champagne in the lounge before dinner, make a glass of whiskey with water and enjoy it in the courtyard after dinner, and after breakfast the next day, leisurely drink coffee in the lounge while thinking about the day's itinerary. Did. Personally, I think having this lounge was a huge help in enjoying my stay at the hotel. [Others] This was my first time in the city of Ozu, and I was very satisfied that I was able to enjoy not only sightseeing around the city, but also the experience of staying at a hotel. Also, this time

I found a few while walking around Ozu. It feels like an old Japanese house that has been renovated, and it has an atmosphere. It seems like a good place for foreigners to learn about Japan's castle towns and houses.
