The clear Hijikawa River flows through the center of the city, and as its name suggests, the river curves like an elbow as it runs through the town, bringing many blessings to the city, including nature, history, culture, and local specialties.

Suggesting ways to enjoy Ozu, which was awarded the world's most sustainable tourist destination

Ozu City is a castle town centered around Ozu Castle, and many historic buildings remain, but as the population continues to decline, the number of vacant houses is increasing. Therefore, a hotel utilizing an old folk house was born. Old houses dotted around the city have been renovated, and the entire town has become a dispersed hotel. In addition to guest rooms, the renovated old folk houses have attracted cafes and general stores, encouraging tourists to stay in the town for longer periods of time and revitalizing the local economy.

Centered around Ozu Castle, which is one of the few wooden buildings in Japan that has been completely restored, the city is filled with an amazing amount of charm, such as the historic townscape known as Iyo's Little Kyoto, and the beautiful contrast between the clear stream of the Hijikawa River and the mountain range. During your stay at NIPPONIA HOTEL Ozu Castle Town, you will feel like you are living in a castle town, and our concierge will arrange the best trip to suit you.

We hope everyone visiting Ozu will have a special time. With this in mind, we give you ``THE OZU PASSPORT'' at check-in, which introduces you to attractive shops that are full of Ozu characteristics. Each store offers ``a little bit of special hospitality'' exclusively for guests staying at the hotel. Enjoy an unforgettable walk around town with "THE OZU PASSPORT" in hand.
