The hotel is directly connected to the Tomarin Ferry Terminal, serving as the gateway to the eight outer islands. It is just a 10-minute taxi ride from Naha Airport and a 15-minute walk to Kokusai Street, offering easy access not only to daytime activities but also to shopping and the bustling downtown area. This makes it an ideal base for your Okinawa trip.
The hotel features an all-day dining area with a spacious open-air terrace, and from the rooms, guests can enjoy the best sunset views in Naha. This allows guests to experience the unique resort-like atmosphere while staying right in the heart of the city.
With 216 rooms in 13 different types, the hotel offers a variety of accommodations to suit different needs. There are rooms that can accommodate up to five people, as well as rooms with bunk beds, perfect for larger groups. Additionally, family-friendly rooms where guests can relax barefoot and enjoy the comfort of their stay are also available.
"Our check-in date happened to coincide with a typhoon in Okinawa. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful; despite the strong winds and heavy rain at the front entrance, they still managed to unload our luggage from the car and arranged for us to check in early. We were initially worried about parking safety at the pier, but the parking area inside the pier was actually very safe. Although it cost 2000 yen, which was a bit pricey, there was a semi-open walkway connecting to the hotel, so you wouldn't get wet in the rain unless it was a typhoon. The newly opened hotel was even more beautiful in person than in the renderings. While the weather wasn't as expected, we still enjoyed soaking in the clean and modern public bath, grabbing snacks at the Lawson shopping mall downstairs, taking a nap, and enjoying a delicious cocktail and a high-quality dinner at the hotel restaurant. We booked a bayside twin room with a fantastic view and extremely comfortable bedding. The spacious bedroom had a large sofa and a huge TV, but the bathroom and washbasin were a bit cramped. However, since we had access to the large public bath, it was all quite comfortable.
The hotel's location is convenient for those driving, with a fish market and supermarket nearby. The pier for outlying islands is right downstairs; many popular island snorkeling and diving destinations depart from this pier. The hotel also offers several summer water sports packages. For those driving or without a car, you can consider taking a boat from another pier to the north to avoid traffic jams.
In terms of location, it's convenient for those driving or travelers wanting to visit outlying islands. It's close to the city center but has a resort-like feel. It's over 15 minutes' walk to Kokusai Street, and the monorail isn't close either. If you want to shop on Kokusai Street, book a hotel on Kokusai Street. However, there seems to be a bus to the airport at the front entrance.
Overall, the accommodation was very comfortable, the breakfast was excellent, and if the price is reasonable, I would definitely consider staying a few nights next time to plan a trip to the outlying islands."
