Experience of the stay
If you're looking for a convenient, vacation-like hotel in Naha at a reasonable price—
under these strict criteria, the most recommended is HOTEL STRATA NAHA.
The name "Strata" in the hotel name means 'soil layer,' and throughout the hotel, the design features stacked soil, weathered imagery, and natural materials, interpreting a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
The pool on the first floor is surrounded by greenery, and stepping into the lobby is filled with a vacation feel.
Behind the pool, there is a high-end Japanese restaurant where you can enjoy Okinawan-style creative cuisine on weekends.
And the absolute must-see is the rooftop bar and infinity pool.
With a broad view, you can gaze at the sea view and skyline of Okinawa.
The bar only operates from Thursday to Sunday, so it is advisable to make arrangements to stay on those days.
Their afternoon tea experience is truly worth it. For just 2,500 yen, you can enjoy four types of desserts + four savory dishes, paired with unlimited coffee and tea, leisurely and satisfying.
Although the rooms are not large, they are exquisitely designed, continuing the overall sober tone of the hotel.
I particularly love the pendant lamp on the small table by the bed—when the ceramic lampshade lights up at night, it gives a warm feeling.
The toiletries, though simple, are all carefully selected good items, making the accommodation experience highly comfortable for solo travelers.
The location is truly impeccable!
Just outside the "Miebashi Station," the elevator is right next to you, and there is absolutely no pressure in handling luggage.
It takes about ten minutes to get to Naha Airport by car, and it's only a five-minute walk to Kokusai Dori.
In summary, if you are looking for a hotel with a "great location, reasonable price, and a bit of a resort feel,"
Hotel Strata Naha is definitely the first choice. I sincerely recommend it to everyone!
Experiences during the trip
The relaxed pace and sea views unique to Okinawa truly make it irresistible to visit regularly.
There are a few places that have become my must-visit list every time I go to Okinawa, and I would like to share them with everyone.
1. HIHAMEI COFFEE STAND
This outdoor coffee shop is very famous in Naha, as this kind of operation in an open space is quite rare in Japan.
I've loved the unique atmosphere here for many years.
The shop has moved once, and the owner mentioned that after the move, the plants and decorations in the yard had to rebuild their relationship with nature. The coffee brewed by the owner is delicious, and even though it is hidden in a narrow alley like a secret base, once you visit, you won't forget the ambiance and will want to go back.
2. CHARUSOBA - Specialty Okinawa Soba
This is my favorite Okinawa noodle shop after countless visits to various places in Okinawa.
Every time I go to Okinawa, I must eat here!
The shop is located within the Sakaemachi Market, and they often sell out by the afternoon and do not operate at night.
So if you really want to eat it, please check the business hours and go a little earlier at noon.
The broth is very refreshing, yet you can taste the care that went into brewing the broth, and the simmered pork tender ribs melt in your mouth, leaving you wanting more.
I always want to order a lot, but unfortunately, they do not offer takeout.
3. COFFEE potohoto
One of the famous coffee shops in Okinawa, known for directly sourcing their coffee beans from the origin, so you can taste some special beans.
I suggest trying their brown sugar coffee latte, as the combination of Okinawa-produced brown sugar and coffee is simply perfect.
There are also some dessert options in the shop, suitable for leisurely sitting for a while.
These shops are all personal favorites that I visit repeatedly, and I welcome everyone to explore with this list!
