Clean property, comfortable and well located! Close to restaurants/bars/izakayas. The lady who welcomed us was so nice and helpful! We arrived late so she called some restaurants to see if they were still open so we could have diner. We found a big spider in our room and she helped us get rid of it. Very nice accommodation and wonderful host!

Ohana is located in Yanagawa. Free WiFi access is available.

Each room here will provide you with air conditioning and a minibar. Complete with a refrigerator, the dining area also has an electric kettle. Featuring a shower, private bathrooms also come with a bath or shower. Extras include a desk and bed linen.

This truly is a special place, far exceeding our expectations. It's not just a hotel but a destination, a cultural gem. The historical Great Hall and the Japanese garden are beautiful. In the evening you can sit on the edge of the Great Hall looking out on to the beautifully lit garden that surrounds a small lake. And the hotel provide you with sake and other drinks at no charge to aid a truly memorable experience. Our room was large, spacious, comfortable and clean, with a fabulous view over the garden. Breakfast was traditional Japanese, and of the highest quality. All the staff were courteous, and very helpful. There is an excellent museum right next door to the hotel to which entry is free to hotel guests. So don't miss it or the tour around the historical parts of the hotel. This is probably the most glowing review I have ever given on Booking.com, but it absolutely deserves it.

    The property looks like it been recently renovated which is such a good surprise. Everything looks new with a giant flat-screen TV. The room might look a little narrow but still can fit 4 beds. There is an onsen in the hotel which was very nice and being a Ryokan, the price was very reasonable. Our booking also included breakfast - a japanese breakfast.

    Joe's warmth and hospitality were exceptional. He gave us local recommendations for the hot springs and food in the area, which were both really good. He made us a delicious breakfast each day, which was very hearty, and we enjoyed the conversations with him throughout our stay. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the room spacious. The quality of linen gave us both a great night's sleep.

    The breakfast was amazing! We had a room with tatamis, which was spacious and comfortable. The futons were pretty hard but we slept really well on them. It is a nice place to go if you want to do the boat tour on the canals and see something different than the usual touristic attractions. Also we ate really good unagi in the town.

And they have tatami room as well for family and friends. I would like to stay tatami for my next stay if I visit with my friends~ :)))
