Ozu Castle Town promotes "sustainable tourism urban & community development" to revitalize Castle Town by renovating old houses of historical value that have been vacant due to population decline and aging.

While feeling the culture, history, and stories of the town, you can enjoy a one-of-a-kind space where you can relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

In the past, historical buildings such as townhouses in Ozu Castle Town were often used as shops on the first floor and residences on the second floor.
Today, the first floor is used as an old folk house shop by a local businessman, and the second floor is used as a guest room for a NIPPONIA HOTEL Ozu Castle Town hotel, reducing the renovation and revitalizing the structure of the building without major changes. This is also one of the ideas for sustainable urban & community development that coexists with the local community.
