Ohana

Ryokan Ohana is a historic ryokan in Yanagawa, offering guests the chance to experience life in a feudal lord’s residence. The property, which has been in the Tachibana clan for over 400 years, sits on 7,000 tsubo (approx. 23,000 m²) surrounded by water channels and includes Shoto-en Garden, Seiyo-kan (western-style building), Grand Hall, and other preserved cultural assets. Staying here allows you to enjoy the serenity of a nationally designated place of scenic beauty while taking in the historic architecture and waterways that have shaped the city.

Dining is a highlight at Ohana. Guests can enjoy seasonal kaiseki cuisine prepared with local ingredients in rooms that were once private spaces for the Tachibana family. The ryokan is also known for Yanagawa-style steamed eel, a local speciality from the Edo period. Meals are served with views of Shoto-en Garden, offering a quiet, reflective experience. With ceremonial spaces, traditional gardens, and a sense of history at every turn, Ryokan Ohana provides a unique stay that blends heritage, culture, and hospitality in the heart of Yanagawa.
