NIPPONIA HOTEL 大洲 城下町

I stayed here again for the first time in six years.There are more guest rooms than before, and they’ve added another lounge as well! There are also more cafés and restaurants in town, which made the stay even more enjoyable.The food was just as delicious as ever, and it’s an Accommodation that makes you want to come back. It was great not only to enjoy the Hotel, but also to enjoy the town.

It felt completely out of the ordinary!I didn’t have a very good impression of renovated traditional houses turned into a Hotel, but when the Hotel staff told us about the building’s history, we learned it used to be a storehouse owned by someone who made Japanese candles. Various items were left behind so you can see traces of life from that time. It also seems each building has its own unique character.The interior had the charm of an old house, and because they use the original structure, there are interesting differences from a typical Hotel—such as the bath only being able to go in one specific place due to the layout.What surprised me even more was that there’s a whole town centered around the Hotel, and we enjoyed walking around with restaurants, leather goods shops, and stores selling local sake.Next time, I’d like to stay in a different Room or try another area’s traditional house Hotel.
