Yanagawa is a beautiful water city where 930 km of canals, unchanged since the Edo period, spread throughout the town and boats glide by. The Tachibana family has long stood alongside Yanagawa’s history. During the Edo period, Ohana began as a villa of the Tachibana family, lords of the Yanagawa Domain. From the Western-style building constructed in the Meiji era as an authentic guesthouse, you pass through to a grand 100-tatami hall—beyond which lies a magnificent garden composed solely of pine trees. With the renewal of our accommodation wing, we are being reborn as a space where you can more fully enjoy the appeal of cultural properties still preserved by descendants of this former daimyo family. Making use of our distinction as Japan’s only nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty where you can stay—a Ryokan with dining—we offer activities and moments that let you feel the history and stories of the daimyo family (the Tachibana family).

Yanagawa is the hometown of one of Japan’s leading poets, Hakushu Kitahara.From the large panoramic public bath at this Accommodation—perfectly located for enjoying the canal town of Yanagawa—you can take in sweeping views of the city.After strolling through Yanagawa’s historic castle town streets or enjoying a river cruise (moat tour), unwind with natural Onsen and our head chef’s signature kaiseki cuisine.
