In Yanagawa, there is a long-standing tradition of celebrating a child’s first seasonal festival by decorating hina dolls together with colorful sagemon ornaments, praying for the child’s healthy growth and happiness.

About "Sagemon" - a prayer for children's healthy growth and happiness

"Sagemon" is a festival decoration unique to Yanagawa that combines fabric crafts in the shape of auspicious motifs such as cranes, rabbits, chicks, and shrimp with Yanagawa Mari, a traditional Yanagawa craft made of rolled up colorful thread.

Each ornament is filled with wishes such as "happiness," "health," and "safe growth," and is carefully crafted with the family's thoughts in mind.

This time, Ohana has prepared an accommodation plan that will allow you to get closer to Yanagawa's spring and festival culture.

About the Yanagawa Hinamatsuri Sagemon Meguri: February 11th (Wed) - April 3rd (Fri), 2026

The Yanagawa Hinamatsuri Sagemon Meguri is a spring event in which the entire town inherits the festival culture and prayer customs that have been passed down in Yanagawa since ancient times.

During the period, sagemon decorations are displayed throughout the town, allowing visitors to enjoy strolling through the springtime streets while coming into contact with warm and heartfelt sentiments.

Special “Sagemon Boat” Accommodation Plan – Spring River Cruise on a Sagemon-Adorned Boat

The boat is decorated with small hanging ornaments and Yanagawa balls, and the red carpet and Japanese umbrellas make it a special charter boat that stands out in the spring light.

Along with the matcha, you can also enjoy sweets such as diamond-shaped yokan, flower arare, and hina arare from Kichizoh, a supplier to the Tachibana family. Enveloped in the spring sunshine and the sparkling water, you can enjoy a leisurely river cruise unique to Yanagawa.

Please arrive at Ohana by 1:30 PM on the day of check-in, as boarding will begin at 2 PM.

(Guided Tour of the Historic Residence) ”What we want to pass on to 100 years from now” Every day from 4:30pm

Why has the Tachibana clan continued to love Yanagawa from approximately 400 years ago to the present day?

Together with the staff of Ohana, we offer an experience touring the cultural heritage sites, allowing you to connect with the culture, history, and spirit passed down by a single clan.

Book Lounge

To provide a unique reading experience meant to be enjoyed only when visiting Ohana and its cultural heritage, we offer a diverse selection of books in our book lounge.

Dinner

Yanagawa has long been blessed with abundant ingredients, thanks to the rich natural environment created by the Ariake Sea—with the greatest tidal range in Japan—and the fertile Chikugo Plain.

The Tachibana clan also benefited from these blessings. Perhaps it was because Yanagawa was a prosperous region with little conflict that they were able to continue weaving their history uninterrupted for over 400 years.

From a daimyo family to a count's family, and then to a traditional restaurant and inn.　Through the food culture that has developed in each era, we hope to deliver what we would like to pass on to the next 100 years.

Visit to the Tachibana Clan Archives

The Tachibana Clan Archives, which houses one national treasure and half of Fukuoka Prefecture's Important Cultural Properties, is a museum where you can see the daimyo's tools and items from the count's family that have been carefully passed down through the Tachibana clan for about 400 years.
