Experience of the stay
This time, I stayed at the 'Loisir Hotel Naha' located in Naha City with HafH.
The hotel, which opened in 1993, boasts the largest number of rooms in Naha City and is a large resort hotel.
It has the only natural hot spring in Naha City, 'Miejyo Onsen - Shiman's Yu,' where you can enjoy a rare natural hot spring in Okinawa.
In December 2021, the large public bath, open-air bath, surrounding corridors, laundry space, and front desk were renovated and became much cleaner.
As for access to the hotel, it is recommended to go by car, as Loisir Hotel Naha is located in a somewhat awkward position.
If you take the Yui Rail, it would take about a 15-minute walk from 'Asahibashi' station, which can be quite tough.
In my case, I moved from Naha Airport by taxi on the day of check-in.
It takes just a bit over 7 minutes from the airport as you can go through the Naha Umisora Tunnel.
Upon entering the hotel, the lobby is quite spacious.
There was a bit of a line for check-in, and the response time for each group was long, taking about 20 minutes to get checked in.
It seems that they don't have an automated check-in/check-out system, so it might be better to avoid busy times.
There is also a Seven-Eleven in the hotel, so I sourced breakfast and light meals here.
Having a convenience store is quite handy.
The room was a superior twin.
Since it has been close to 30 years since opening, there is a slight feeling of age that cannot be hidden.
The bathroom and toilet are in a unit bath style, feeling like a business hotel.
There is a refrigerator, so you can cool down anything bought at the convenience store here.
I couldn't include photos, but the natural hot spring 'Shiman's Yu' is not very large, but I feel it is a luxury to be able to enjoy a natural hot spring in Okinawa.
Additionally, there is a pool in the hotel, so you can play well without having to go outside.
Experiences during the trip
The next day after staying, I rented a car and visited various places.
After enjoying Okinawa World, home to Gyokusendo Cave, I had Okinawa soba at Kunta, located just before the entrance to Okino Islands, and drove towards Chinen Cape.
The following day, I headed towards Uruma City to visit Katsuren Castle ruins.
I took out taco rice from Kintako Yomitan shop on the way, crossed the ocean road, and visited the Nuchi-maru salt factory and Kafu Banta.
Kafu Banta is a spot I have visited many times, but the view is always beautiful no matter how many times I come back.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
