Ryokan Ohana Hotel

Ryokan Ohana

Ryokan Ohana is a traditional inn located within a nationally designated scenic site in Yanagawa, Japan. The four-storey building has a total floor area of 3,859.95 square metres and offers 20 guest rooms in eight categories, ranging from 34 to 87 square metres. Three room types were rebuilt while preserving original floor pillars, lintels, thresholds and ceiling materials. Local crafts such as Yame lanterns, Yame stone, rush-grass tatami mats and black plaster are used. The guest rooms frame views of the restored garden and the historic residence.

Ryokan Ohana Hotel by Daisuke Takamiya was recognized as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Ryokan Ohana Hotel was awarded the Golden A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2026. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design recognition program that celebrates outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
