Iyo Heiya Station × Recommended Hotel·Ryokan

Have you heard of Ozu in Ehime? It has been selected as one of the Top 100 Sustainable Tourism Destinations in the world and is the first in Japan to win the world's top award for cultural and traditional preservation. It is currently a must-visit destination. The retro and photogenic castle town centered around Ozu Castle has been featured in works like "Suzume no Tojimari" and was the final filming location for the classic drama "Tokyo Love Story." Additionally, the nearby Shimonada Station, which has recently gained attention as an Instagram-worthy spot, is a fascinating place to visit. When it comes to sightseeing in Ehime, many people think of Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama, but Ozu is highly recommended for travelers looking to explore beyond the usual spots. Maro Yashiki is a private rental villa. Located in an area known as "Little Kyoto of Iyo," surrounded by luxury Hotels, it is a casual Facility that many guests enjoy. It is spacious for two people and can accommodate up to 10 guests for group stays. During check-in, Maro, the owner's Akita dog, will greet you. The Facility is fully equipped with entertainment options for families and friends, including a ping-pong table, a 100-inch projector, gaming consoles, high-end speakers, board games like Life, cards, UNO, Othello, shogi, mahjong, and a collection of manga. - Nearby Information - Garyu Onsen: 10-minute walk Ozu Castle: 5-minute walk Garyu Sanso: 5-minute walk Shimonada Station: 30-minute drive Matsuyama and Dogo Onsen: 1-hour drive - Meals - You can enjoy BBQ on the courtyard terrace, or we can assist with preparing a home party by shopping for local flavors.

Since the Edo period, the Chikada family supported the community as village headmen of the Uwajima Domain and contributed to local culture as a lineage of poets. Inheriting their history and spirit, we have restored “Noda Shoya Residence” as a charming private rental Accommodation.There are three separate guest buildings: the Main House, the Storehouse, and the Annex—each with its own character. The Main House and Annex feature both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, while the Storehouse offers a semi open-air bath. Soaking in warm water while gazing out at a small garden gently relaxes both body and mind.Another highlight is the Japanese garden, visible from every guest building. A majestic maki tree over 300 years old and seasonal flowers add color throughout the year, while pure spring water flows into the garden pond. Enjoy a quiet stay surrounded by history and nature.
