Would you dress like a warrior to stay at this 16th-century Samurai castle in Japanese village?

If you would prefer to stay in a Japanese village rather than a city during a vacation, a hamlet 500 miles away from Tokyo has a 16th century castle that has its own charm.

About the unique Ozu Castle
Spending a vacation at an old castle-turned-tourist property is ideal for enjoyment—and with so many choices across the world, that fun is not too far away.

However, the Ozu Castle in Japan is the most amazing castle one can find. This southern Japan beauty is one of the few timber-made castles and also a solo samurai castle, where tourists are allowed for a holiday.
Bookings and reservations

Coming straight to the point—getting a reservation here may not be a cakewalk and an affordable deal. The castle has kept the cap to 30 reservations with maximum six guests each. The castle charges $9,500 per night for two guests and around $950 for an extra guest.

What can guests expect here?

Guests that are supposed to stay for a night are welcomed by flag bearers and the amazing sound of conch shell horns. They are offered to wear kimonos or Medieval warrior uniforms. They can also eat at one of the four original 400-year-old turrets. The property ensures breakfast and tea time is a memorable one for the guests, through a 100-year-old cliffside villa and teahouse overseeing the Hiji River.

More amenities

There are no en-suite toilets in the castle. However, a luxury bath and lounge are added to the compound for the guests. Guests are entertained through a moon-viewing session with poetry and Kangura dance acts.
