Yanagawa Hotels with Airport pickup service

I came to Kyushu at the end of the year and the beginning of the year and looked for a hotel near Fukuoka Tenjin to go to Dazaifu on New Year's Day, but I was here because it was expensive and Yanagawa was cheaper than Tenjin, and the train flight was good. １ night ８３００ yen was cheaper than the center of Fukuoka, and it was convenient for sightseeing within １ hours by train for the distance to go to Dazaifu the next day. It is a few minutes walk from the station to the hotel (the opposite direction to the shuttle bus stop down the boat). The room was also very good for the price.

Central easy walk to great restaurants and quenelles and sightseeing highlights of Yanagawa. Modern reception with ultra friendly staff who made us feel most welcome even with the language barrier. Kuniko-San was on reception when we checked in and served us breakfast each day. She was so helpful, engaging and incredibly welcoming. Traditional Japanese Breakfast was included in our tariff and changed each morning, delicious, pickled vegetables, grilled fish, rice with Tsukudani, miso , marinated octopus with vegetables, tamago & green tea & filter coffee. The room was traditional Japanese large and spacious 10 tatami with extra futons for increased cushion. The best part was the view from the room overlooking a lovely traditional Japanese garden, very private, and shielded from the bright morning sun by surrounding trees. I highly recommend this lovely hotel for an authentic Japanese experience

We came to Yanagawa to see and ride on the old canals and stayed at this authentic Japanese hotel for a night . Nice place right beside the canal where you can see the boats going by. There were three of us so we had a big room, one part Western with two single beds the other part was a Japanese tatami mat room where the staff made up a bed on the floor while we were at dinner. Booking in was easy and staff super polite which is the normal in Japan. Before dinner we went to the hot springs bath and relaxed in the lovely hot waters. We had booked in for dinner 6.30 pm. in the main dining room , we went in the Yukata’s that the hotel provided, very relaxing. Dinner was a set menu, typical Japanese food, about ten little bowls containing different items, miso soup, different Sashimi’s, chicken , pickles , eel, which this area is famous for and another lovely small fried fish, plenty to fill you up and for sweets a huge piece of water melon. The room did have a bath and shower but didn’t use them as we used the hot spring baths, there was free wifi, a safe and good TV. Slept well. First thing in the morning we went to the outside hot bath before going and enjoying a smorgasbord breakfast. In the Rockpool baths they supply all you need , body soap , shampoo, conditioner, hairdryers etc, always a nice experience. Typical Japanese breakfast , no cereals but plenty to choose from. We had trout and puffer fish, plenty of veggies, the scrambled egg was scrumptious. Plenty of fruit, mango , orange and delicious pineapple. While we went of doing a boat ride on the canals the hotel held our luggage for us, very handy. The hotel also has a good gift shop. We enjoyed our stay, gives you a real Japanese hotel experience.

I was worried because it was my first time traveling alone, but both owners were very nice and the neighborhood was quiet, so it was really nice. Since I arrived early in the morning, I asked if I could leave my luggage there, and they gladly agreed. I especially loved being able to enjoy a traditional Japanese ryokan and breakfast at this price (the grilled eel was especially delicious to the point of tears)! We were able to create happy memories by letting us try on a yukata and experience writing with a brush on various kinds of Korean paper. I was very satisfied because I felt like I was living in a Japanese home. If you come to Yanagawa, other than boating and grilled eel, it would be nice to stay for 1-2 nights and take your time to see the pretty town☺️ I don't often leave reviews like this, but I really wanted to leave one because I felt like the owners really treat their customers with respect. Next time I will come with a friend. Thank you for leaving me with meaningful memories♡

We stayed at the Ohana for three nights in a Western room. The hotel also has Japanese style rooms. The room was large, clean and had a great view over the garden. The lack of cupboards or shelves meant we had to put our clothes on the floor. Japanese hotels often have limited storing space for clothes, but the Ohana took it a bit further. Wlan was fast and free.The staff is polite, very friendly and helpful. Parking is free and the staff reserves spots for the guests. A set Japanese breakfast at 7.30 or 8.00, no other options. The Japanese breakfast was extensive and of excellent quality, the western breakfast we got served the second day was also very good. The hotel has a two person public bath and free transport and entrance to a much larger onsen with extensive facilities. Hard to compare this hotel with a regular hotel because of its specific character. I would certainly recommend staying here.

It was Dadam’s room and it was comfortable and nice. The room was clean and there was a small bathroom so it was nice and easy to wash. I didn't eat dinner but only breakfast, but the quality was so good that I think it would be good to have dinner as well. I plan to visit the port again next time.

요즘 흔해 빠진 체인점같은 호텔말고 일본의 전통 향을 느낄 수 있는 료칸을 원했는데, 추구했던 료칸이었어요. 처음에 후기에 료칸사장님께서 영어가 안되신다는 글을 보고 조금 걱정했는데 문제없이 소통하였어요. 대부분 호텔이 굉장히 좁았는데 방이 굉장히 넓었으며, 항상 드라마나 만화에서만 보던 저의 로망을 이룬것같아 개인적으로는 일본을 몇번 왔다갔다하는 사람으로써는 제일 만족했던 숙소였습니다. 청결은 말할 것도 없고요. 또, 조식으로 먹었던 일본느낌의 음식이 아직도 머리속에 맴돕니다. 다음에 방문했을때는 저녁도 먹어보고싶어요!♡
