Perfect!
Pros:

We loved this hotel so much that we had to return for a second night after some rearranging of plans. The rooms are distributed around the town in historic old buildings and are so beautiful. The town has a peaceful atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind.

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.
