Castle Stay at Ozu

    Ehime

Enjoy a private overnight stay at Ozu Castle and a special breakfast at the nationally designated Important Cultural Property Garyu Sanso Villa. Ozu Castle features a wooden main keep and two turrets, all designated as Important Cultural Properties. Guests will enter the castle in the same way as the first lord of Ozu Domain, greeted by the musket corps with celebratory gunfire and a horogai conch shell trumpet. The program, which also features traditional local performances known as Kagura, offers a unique opportunity to experience life as a castle lord and is designed with a strong commitment to local sourcing, reflected in the cuisine, beverages, and amenities provided.
