大洲城下町 NIPPONIA飯店

總而言之，如果價格相同，我個人認為普通酒店會比這種酒店更好。我估計不會再來了。 [房間] 比我預期的要乾淨。不過，由於是老房子，窗戶關不嚴，蟲子很容易鑽進來，這點有點可惜。 [設施] 浴室很現代，也很漂亮，但浴缸裡的淋浴位置有點尷尬。 水溫控制器太低，椅子也太矮了。 [員工] 服務態度因人而異，這點非常令人失望。例如，在早餐區，工作人員有時候會解釋，有時候不會，服務水準也因人而異。 此外，早餐區人頭攢動，腳步聲不斷，根本無法安心用餐。

工作人員、食物和設施都很棒。由於是老民房，門楣較低，萬一不小心撞到頭，入住時告知一下就更好了。

Hotel room (house): The hotel rooms are spread out across the town and really well maintained. If you want to stay in a home that has all the modern comforts and maintains the style of the traditional home it is really worth the experience. For a family trip there are different models for the homes you stay in I stayed in the “Take” home it could fit four people with a nice small backyard and a lot of living room spaces where you can relax and wind down after a days exploring the town. Townsites: Overall this is a small town everything you want to see is in walking distance the castle convenient stores like 7/11 are all within 10-20 minutes walk. This is a nice small town with friendly residents and has a slow pace surrounded by mountains and there’s the main river running through the town. A lot of great views even when it’s raining. Food and service: The staff are very professional and accommodating I had two vegetarians in my company and they were more than willing to accommodate the menus accordingly and provide suggestions for substitutes while considering providing the best experience for meals as possible.

Nipponia Hotel's concept is novel and makes for a wonderful visit to an historic castle town. We stayed in a restored Meiji era merchant's home, with beautiful restored wood floors and traditional walls and shoji interior doors. It is one of many that comprises the hotel. Because the "rooms" are separate structures and the dining facilities are also separate, you walk outside on the narrow streets of the historic town to get to breakfast or dinner. (There is also a shuttle to get to the dinner venue just below the Castle) Once you wrap your head around the concept, it is a wonderful way to visit. The staff were kind and helpful, despite a few minor lapses which I would chalk up to inexperience. Our Japanese was a bit rusty but the staff managed to communicate well, for the most part in English, and even through google translate when necessary. A couple of things to note. Our room was a duplex with the bedroom and sitting room upstairs and the WC and bathroom downstairs. The stairs were narrow and steep, which is typical in Japanese homes. This was not an issue for us but for those with limited mobility, you should consult with the staff when selecting a room type. Breakfast and Dinner are included and consist of a large and delicious traditional Japanese breakfast and a multi course Japanese French fusion dinner with a set menu. We stayed four nights and had four distinct and very good dinners. Over all, considering the somewhat remote location of Ozu, it was a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations.
