Experience of the stay
The hotel was new and clean.
The room had a slight step-up area where I could take off my shoes and relax, which I liked.
There was a supermarket just 1-2 minutes away on foot, making it convenient to buy side dishes and many souvenirs.
There was also a popular bakery nearby, and Jackie's Steak was about an 8-minute walk away. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out this time, but I would like to use both places when I stay again.
Experiences during the trip
After dropping off my luggage at the hotel, I headed to Naminoue Beach and Naminoue Shrine. Since it was my second visit, I wanted to see it from the bridge this time, so I walked there. I did some earthing on the beach and then visited Naminoue Shrine. On my way to Fukushu-en, I discovered a restaurant I had seen on TV before, and I tried Okinawan zenzai for the first time. It was large but delicious, and I finished it easily. Fukushu-en features a beautifully designed Chinese-style garden. It's well done, with a man-made rock mountain from which waterfalls cascade, and you can walk through the mountain to access the back of the waterfall.
On the second day, I visited Shuri Castle. Despite the thunder, I managed to visit during a break in the rain. The miso soup called Inamuduchi, which I had at a restaurant, was so good that I found a retort package at a supermarket to bring home as a souvenir.
On the last day, I dropped off my luggage at the airport and took the Umikaji Liner to Senagajima. I strolled around Umikaji Terrace and relaxed in the 'Ryugendo' bath at Senagajima Hotel while enjoying a view of the airplanes. I had a 'Maasan Bowl' at the popular seafood restaurant 'Uomaru' in Akamine. I arrived around 3 PM, so I was seated right away. After stopping by the supermarket next door across the street, I headed to the airport. I enjoyed Okinawa until the very last minute.
But it’s still not enough. I think I will visit again.
