heading to japan? think about staying in a restored castle
Located in Ozu City in the Japanese prefecture of Ehime and over four storeys high, Ozu Castle was originally built in the fourteenth century during the Muromachi period before being rebuilt in 2004, and it’s one of 17 historical castles still around in Japan (there used to be around 3000 in the country but they were destroyed due to WWII and the Abolition of Castles Order from the Meiji period). If you’ve got Japan on the brain and have been dreaming about visiting sometime soon then we’ve got some ripper news: you can now stay the night at Ozu Castle and live like the literal lord of the castle.
To make it even more of a luxe experience, guests staying at Ozu Castle have the entire property – including the castle tower and two turrets – to themselves, with only butlers and chefs having access. If you’re keen on partaking in this once-in-a-lifetime hotel stay, make sure to hop over to Ozu Castle’s website this-a-way.
