街がホテルそのもの
Pros:

伝統的建造物をホテルにして、社会性のある取り組みを行っている事。
分散型ホテルとして街の路地がホテルの廊下の様に見立てていて、今までにない体験を得られる事。
クラブラウンジでお酒もコーヒーも飲み放題でいつでも利用できる事。

Cons:

蔵は素晴らしいけれど、トップライトが夏暑いので、シェードを設けてほしい。

Nice Place to Experience Ozu
Pros:

Fantastic location in the charming Ozu Castle Town. Interesting activities are available through the hotel, including watching cormorant fishing (a very new & fun experience!) Rooms are huge, with their own enclosed courtyard & two floors. Nice lounge with free drinks also available. Traditional Japanese breakfast.

Cons:

Kept hitting my head on several different doorframes, including 1) Bathroom door, 2) Toilet room door, 3) Bedroom door, and 4) Lounge door. The doorframes are just slightly lower than you’re used to, to the point where your brain doesn’t register that you have to duck… I’m 176cm (5’9) for context.

Wood bathtub is traditional but seems to have seen better days

The peak of relaxed Japanese luxury with amazing local impact
Pros:

This hotel is the peak of relaxed Japanese luxury. Gorgeously renovated historic buildings that have helped revitalize the town and preserve cultural heritage. Fantastic fine dining experience with French-Japanese fusion that highlights local flavors. Impeccable staff that are kind and eager to help. And, a lovely club lounge with excellent selection of sake and even a sparkling wine included. Ozu is truly charming and I highly recommend two nights to really explore at a relaxed pace including the hillsides, castle, tea house, historic residences and local brewery.

Cons:

Nothing, everything is perfect.

Traditional Japanese experience with the comfort and luxury of modern day times.
Pros:

We stayed at a beautiful traditional Japanese home (used to be a medical clinic back in the day) overlooking the Ozu castle. Staff was super friendly. Amenities and service were great: from toiletries to fully stocked fridge and delicious Japanese breakfast to luxury car shuttle to get to the restaurant, all was tailored to giving is the best possible experience. And it worked:-)

Pros:

The concept is great: you stay in a historic building with modern amenities. The breakfast was fantastic and in the evening you have access to free drinks in the hotel bar. The location is also great in the heart of Ozu old town, plus there's a free shuttle service to the train station.

Pros:

飯店和小鎮融爲一體的住宿體驗真的很棒，沈浸式的感受了大洲城下町的風情，很值得來個2天一夜細細品嚐

我訂了飯店晚餐，飯店的餐廳在距離房間約12分鐘路程的地方，傍晚時穿著浴衣及木屐穿越小鎮，散步到大洲城下方的餐廳用餐，這是很棒的體驗，美食及氛圍都拉高最滿。回程我們讓飯店派車送回住宿的地方。

我的房型一樓是廁所及盥洗室，二樓是房間及休息區域，逛完小鎮回來坐在搖椅上休息喝茶真的很放鬆，整個空間的氛圍非常棒

房間空間相當大，卻打掃的很乾淨，連樓梯下方的空間都沒有毛髮灰塵

飯店的工作人員都是年輕人，除了專業還非常的親切，我們受到了很棒的招待

absolut empfehlenswert
Pros:

Das Konzept des Hotel mehrere alte Häuser im klassisch japanischen Stil liebevoll zu restaurieren und somit die Stadt zu beleben, ist sehr überzeugend. Das Bad in unserer nach Natur duftenden Kiefernholzwanne war für uns auch einmal ein neues Erlebnis. Das Restaurant war absolut sternewürdig, die Mischung aus japanischer und französischer Küche ein wahrer Augen- und Gaumenschmaus.

Cons:

es gab nichts Wesentliches auszusetzen. man muss sich allerdings darauf einstellen, dass das Frühstück auch klassisch japanisch ist und somit sehr fischlastig- und ohne Kaffee, den man sich allerdings in der Lounge danach holen kann.
