Ohana’s history dates back to the Edo period
when it served
as the residence of the Tachibana clan, feudal lords of the Yanagawa domain.
Since Tachibana Sadayoshi, the fifth lord of the Yanagawa domain,
moved the residence where his wife and children lived to this location near Yanagawa Castle,
it has been passed down in the Tachibana clan
until present day.
After the mansion was built, this area was decorated with seasonal flowers and
became affectionately known as “Ohana Batake,”
which is the origin of our company’s name today, “Ohana.”
During the Meiji era, it became a residence
for Count Tachibana and his family.
The estate survived through the chaotic period
during and after World War II,
and the Tachibana clan,
descendants of the Yanagawa feudal lord,
continues to operate the facility
as a ryotei ryokan (Japanese-style restaurant and inn).
The historical culture of Ohana
still lives on here today.
GUEST ROOM

Stand still in the Grand Hall with the morning sun shining through, or gaze at the moon reflected in the pond in the Shoto-en Garden. At Ohana, we offer our guests the unique experience of staying overnight at a cultural asset.
CUISINE
The Ariake Sea, a bountiful body of water created by the largest difference in tidal range in Japan, and the fertile Chikugo Plain. From a feudal lord’s family to a count’s family and then to a ryotei ryokan. Through the culinary culture that has been nurtured in each era, we will continue to share with you what we want to pass on to the next 100 years.
