Yanagawa Hakuryu Soh

Yanagawa Hakuryuso is famous for its well-tended Japanese garden. The classy ryokan has also built a reputation around its creative, elaborate kaiseki course meals using seasonal ingredients. It serves dishes of seafood unique to the Ariake Sea that include kuchizoko (tongue sole), and a specialty of Yanagawa, unagi no seiro-mushi (grilled river eel over steamed, seasoned rice), popular with locals and visitors alike. Recommended for those who want to enjoy a fine meal in a tranquil setting.
