Stay at a historic cultural property
Kazeno Heritage offers a one-of-a-kind experience where you can stay in important historical buildings, such as castles and mansions, that have accumulated history alongside their towns.
Please enjoy a luxurious time enveloped in rich space and aesthetic beauty, monopolizing a historical building.
Stay at the castle
Where the castle becomes yours.
'Castle Stay' is a special accommodation program in Japan that allows guests to experience a stay in a historical castle as if they were the lord of the castle. It offers exclusive access to existing or restored castle facilities and surrounding areas, where guests can enjoy the charm of samurai culture, local traditions, and historically significant architecture through their senses.
This time, we will introduce three castles: Ozu Castle (Ehime Prefecture), Marugame Castle (Kagawa Prefecture), and Fukuyama Castle (Hiroshima Prefecture). Each has a different history and charm, offering a unique experience.
- Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property
Located in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture, Ozu Castle offers Japan's first-ever "Castle Stay" experience in a wooden reconstructed keep, faithfully replicating its Edo-period appearance. The entire castle — including the keep and two turrets designated as Important Cultural Properties — is reserved for a single group per day, offering a special experience as if you were the lord of the castle.
- Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property
Marugame Castle in Kagawa Prefecture boasts over 400 years of history. Famous for having the smallest original keep in Japan and beautiful stone walls, a stay here is a special journey back to the era of the Kyogoku clan, who ruled Marugame for more than two centuries. Reserve the entire castle for your group and savor the culture rooted in this land as you reflect on its history.
- Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property
Celebrating its 400th anniversary, Fukuyama Castle in Hiroshima Prefecture is a rare castle — the closest to a train station in Japan, and the only one in the country with an iron-clad northern wall. The Fukuyama Castle Stay offers exclusive use of the entire castle grounds: a one-of-a-kind luxury experience drawing on this historic site and on Fukuyama's rich heritage of history, food, and culture.

The Old Soma Residence is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, located within one of Japan’s treasured historic districts. Protected for more than a hundred years, this historic site has been reimagined as an exclusive heritage hotel of just three rooms.
- Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings
It is said that this was built around 1940 by Mr. Ueno Goichi, the owner of the kaiseki restaurant "Sakau", which was once considered the best in Osaka, and a tea practitioner of the Enshu style. Although it is a villa that can be rented in its entirety, please enjoy a journey where you can experience luxurious hotel services that can only be found here.
- Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings
Located on Nene no Michi, where traditional houses remain, originally a ryōri ryokan — a traditional inn renowned for its cuisine — the building has been carefully restored. While the exterior retains an elegant traditional style, the interior reveals a luxurious space designed with modern aesthetics.

- Historic Site, Place of Scenic Beauty, Natural Monument
Marugame Castle, which boasts the tallest stone walls in Japan, is home to the historically significant building 'Enjyukaku Bekkan Kazeno Heritage', relocated from the Edo residence of the former Marugame feudal lord, the Kyogoku family, located in the San-no-Maru area.
