Ozu Castle Town Inn is a top choice located just a 3-minute walk from Yanagisawa Interaction Square. This traditional Japanese-style hotel offers tatami rooms and private garden terraces, with select rooms providing views of the historic Ozu Castle Ruins.

Ozu Yonagawa Ryokan is the only boutique hotel directly facing the Yonagawa River, featuring riverside-view rooms that offer unobstructed views of the tranquil stream winding through downtown Ozu. Housed in a restored warehouse, the property retains original timber beams and hand-laid bricks, complemented by underfloor heating and wireless charging stations. Each guest receives a complimentary local walking guide and riverfront exploration map, perfect for discovering hidden tea houses and historical alleys.

Guests staying at Ozu Castle Town Inn can participate in daily 10 AM traditional lacquerware workshops led by local artisans, crafting small decorative pieces. The hotel also hosts monthly evening lantern walks along the Yonagawa River, illuminating the path with handmade paper lanterns reminiscent of Edo-era nights. For deeper immersion, book a private local chef’s kitchen class to learn how to prepare Ehime specialties like "Tosa Nitsuke" and "tofu hot pot." All experiences are included in the stay package—reserve via HopeGoo for exclusive access.
