Welcome to Ohana. This large estate was once formerly the home of Yanagawa's ruling Tachibana family, and the foundations of the estate were first constructed in 1697. In 1910, the estate was expanded with the constuction of the Seiyokan Annex, the Ohiroma Grand Hall, the Enyukaijo Banquet Hall, and "Shotoen" which is a wonderful Japanese garden inspired by the landscape of Matsushima near Sendai (this garden was designated as a national site of beauty in 1978). There is a museum, restaurant, and coffee shop on the estate as well. Part of the estate is the "Shotokan" which is a Ryokan Hotel (see definition of ryokan styles below) with 19 Japanese-style guest rooms, and all guest rooms have their own private bath and toilet. There are shared baths for both women and men (same sex only). Traditional Japanese-style cuisine is served to the guests at Ohana. Check-in time is after 3:00pm and check-out time is before 11:00am. Parking is available.
