Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The Tachibana family, feudal lords of the Yanagawa Domain, lived at the Yanagawa Domain Lord Tachibana Residence, also known as Ohanaya. After the war, they converted their private residence into a ryokan complete with a restaurant. The renovated Ryokan Ohana is the Shotokan accommodation building constructed within the nationally designated site. The spatial design, based on the concept of conveying authenticity, aims to establish a lasting connection for the next 100 years.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The four-storey hotel has a total floor area of 3,859.95 square metres. It offers 20 guest rooms, spanning eight categories and ranging in size from 34 to 87 square metres. This variety caters for a range of guests, including couples, friends, families and groups. The restaurant has been operating from this location since 1950. Seventy-five years on, the Tachibana family's story is reflected in the restaurant's locally sourced cuisine.

- Production Technology
- The space evokes warmth within the dignified ambience of a samurai residence, while maintaining continuity with the designated cultural assets of the grand hall and traditional restaurant. Three of the eight guest room types have been reconstructed whilst preserving original features such as the floor pillars, lintels, thresholds, and ceiling materials. These incorporate local industries and traditional crafts including Yame lanterns, Yame stone, rush-grass tatami mats, and black plaster.
- Design Challenge
- Our renovation aimed to create a space where guests could experience and appreciate the authentic more profoundly. This was achieved by removing decorative elements to make the authentic stand out more prominently. The logo has been redesigned using handwritten characters by Fumiko, the 16th generation of the Tachibana family. We have also redesigned the website to convey the history of Ohanaya and the atmosphere of Yanagawa, building anticipation even before visitors arrive.
- Research
- The project team researched Yanagawa's history and culture, aiming to incorporate these elements into the design to convey the region's appeal more widely.The spatial composition within the grounds was studied, with guest rooms laid out to frame views of the gardens and residences beyond the windows, creating an environment where guests can fully appreciate the value of staying within the cultural heritage site. We aim to contribute to the community and create a place cherished by many.
- Inspiration
- The entrance has been designed to make guests feel as if they are staying in a special place, while also blending in with the neighbouring cultural site. At the front of the lobby is the restored historic Imperial Garden courtyard, which features a symbolic arrangement of stones that were used to build the cultural property. The guest rooms are arranged to provide views of the gardens and the residence beyond, further enhancing the experience of staying within a cultural heritage site.
- Project Duration
- The project began in Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, in March 2023, opening on 11 January 2025.
Yanagawa City is a popular tourist destination renowned for its canals and river rafting.
Ohana is an accommodation facility run by the Tachibana clan, who have governed the area for over 400 years.
It offers a rare opportunity to stay within the grounds of a 23,000 square metres site designated as a National Scenic Beauty. - Operation Flow
- By collaborating with local artisans and businesses, we have established a system whereby the property is updated in partnership with the community whenever repairs are required.
We aim to preserve traditional techniques and skills to ensure that the rich heritage and culture of Yanagawa and its surrounding areas endure for the next century.
We minimise environmental impact by using natural materials and organic amenities. - Image Credits
