Experience of the stay
This time I stayed in "Omoromachi", near the Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum (Okimyuu).
It's my second stay at Daiwa Roynet Hotel, second only to Kagoshima Tenmonkan.
It's right after passing the duty-free store "T-Galleria" from the Yui Rail "Omoromachi Station".
Nearby, there are large shopping malls like "San-Ei Naha Main Place" and a Lawson convenience store on the first floor of the hotel, which is convenient.
The 24-square-meter room had a sofa bed, and the desk was spacious and comfortable.
The only downside was that it had a three-point unit bathroom. It would be better if the toilet were separate.
Experiences during the trip
The Night Museum of "Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum" (Okimyuu) is open until 8 PM on weekends, so after sightseeing, you can take a quick bath at the hotel before enjoying the museum until closing time. You can see a restored model of the Port Okinawan people from 20,000 years ago in the museum.
In Omoromachi, there is the largest turtle shell grave in Okinawa, "Izenyama Grave", originating from China.
Extend your trip slightly to "Urasoe Yodor".
It is said to be the grave of King Eiso from the 13th century and was a fierce battleground known as "Hacksaw Ridge" during the Okinawa War. The castle was destroyed, and many caves where residents evacuated are said to still contain human bones.
At "Urasoe Castle - Yodor Museum", you can find remarkable exhibits such as a restored model of a stone coffin (seki-tamari) housed in the castle.
