This was our second hotel during our Okinawa trip, and its location was absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of American Village, making it super convenient to get anywhere. There's a direct pathway from the hotel to the beach, perfect for watching the sunset. A Lawson convenience store is right below the annex, and all sorts of shops in American Village are nearby. It's lively and beautifully lit up at night. Walking to Aeon Mall takes about 5-8 minutes, which is also very handy.
The room itself was really spacious, a stark contrast to the typically smaller rooms on mainland Japan. It even had a small balcony where we could enjoy the sea view. Amenities could be replenished on the first floor. On the tenth floor, there's a lovely communal bath facing the ocean; when I went in the afternoon, I practically had the whole place to myself. Soaking in the bath while watching the sunset was pure bliss. After a good soak, there's a vending machine where you can grab some milk – the perfect accompaniment to a Japanese bath.
Breakfast was incredibly extensive, featuring all sorts of local specialties like soba noodles, Yudofu (boiled tofu), and salted pork slices. You could even make your own seafood bowl with various sashimi options available for self-service. We ate so much both days that we could easily skip lunch.
If you need to catch a bus to Naha city center or the airport, you can ask the front desk for information and make a reservation. The bus stop isn't directly in front of the hotel anymore, but it's just a 3-5 minute walk. We booked and paid for our tickets a day in advance at the hotel. When it was time to depart, there was staff waiting at the bus stop. For our trip to Asahibashi, it was 900 JPY for an adult, and half price for children who occupy a seat.
