What is “NIPPONIA HOTEL Ozu Castle Town”?
A brief introduction to NIPPONIA Ozu
``NIPPONIA HOTEL Ozu Castle Town'' is Japan's largest dispersed hotel, consisting of 26 buildings and 31 rooms spread across Ozu. All rooms are renovated historical buildings.
In this article, we will introduce the charm of each room.
1. Renovate the mansion of a descendant of the former Ozu feudal lord! luxury suite room
This building was built in 1925 by Yasumichi Kato, a descendant of the former feudal lord of Ozu, as a villa when he returned home. It still retains much of its original appearance today, and was registered as a national registered tangible cultural property in 2007 as a residence that shows the lifestyle of the former daimyo family before the war. It is a two-story wooden hipped structure, with the second floor having verandas on three sides and glass shoji sliding doors for an open structure, giving it a high formality typical of the residence of a former daimyo family, as well as a modern Western style. can be seen everywhere. The space is considered to be a luxury pre-war residence.
2. Full of commitment and playfulness! Premier room where you can enjoy culture and history with all five senses
This building was built around the middle of the Edo period. This land belonged to Chojiro Murakami, who made a fortune manufacturing wooden wax, and it was a storehouse for goby nuts, the raw material for wooden wax. Although it is a warehouse, the ceiling is high and there are skylights, giving it an open feel. The interior is decorated in chic colors that complement the wooden architecture. The water supply area on the first floor was intentionally placed in the center of the room in order to preserve the clay walls of the storehouse. Because the bathroom is made of glass, it is a space where you can enjoy bath time while looking at the structure of the building.
3. Spacious and comfortable deluxe room
One of the deluxe rooms is a renovated residence of Mr. Umejiro Imaoka, who founded the Imaoka Silk Mill, which opened in 1893 (Meiji 26). The raw silk from the Imaoka Silk Mill has been repeatedly used for official textiles by the Imperial Household Ministry, and in 1928 (Showa 3), when it was selected as the official raw silk for the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Showa, it was given to a plum tree in the courtyard by the Imperial Household Ministry. You can feel the history even from the old trees. Inside the guest room, there are cocoon-shaped lights and hanging scrolls decorated with raw silk from Ozu, all of which are meant to convey the story of the hotel being once a silk mill, so be sure to take a look.
Some rooms have a view of Ozu Castle!
Some rooms are located in a renovated historic mansion at the foot of Ozu Castle. Of the 31 rooms, only 3 rooms allow you to stay while looking at Ozu Castle up close. At night, it is lit up and you can spend a luxurious time enjoying the fantastic scenery.
4. Open dog friendly room
Located right next to Garyu Sanso and the Hijikawa River, this room allows you to relax while being healed by the mountain greenery and the pleasant breeze. We pay close attention to details, such as the color scheme that evokes the spirit of samurai, and the crafts that have been passed down in Ozu and Uchiko. We also have a deck terrace and garden so you can enjoy your time with your dog. Walking around the town with your dog or relaxing in your room is sure to become an irreplaceable memory for your family.
5. Club lounge exclusively for guests, located in a renovated storehouse
There is also a free lounge exclusively for guests, located in a renovated storehouse. Enjoy unlimited champagne, wine, beer, whisky, soft drinks, tea and coffee. It is open from 8:00 to 22:00, and on days when the weather is nice, we recommend spending time in the courtyard.
