Experience of the stay
For my stay in Naha, I chose OMO5 Okinawa Naha by Hoshino Resort, a place I previously enjoyed and found highly satisfactory. The check-in desk here is integrated with a café, a common pattern seen in trendy lifestyle hotels these days. The system is efficient, minimizing the time required for procedures.
The style of self-service amenities is becoming increasingly common, but they do not provide nightwear, which must be paid for separately.
When needing to store luggage before or after check-in, there is a dedicated locker for guests on the second floor, which is convenient. On the same floor, there is also a library lounge, making it suitable for work on a computer.
This time I opted for a Yagura room. The space at the top of the stairs inside the room serves as the bed area, while the lower level is a daybed, so you can relax in your preferred style. This design may not suit everyone's taste, but personally, I found it quite comfortable. The ceiling is low, but the space is used effectively.
The Yagura room also has differences in water facilities compared to standard rooms. While standard rooms only have a shower, this room features a separate bathroom with a washing area, allowing you to relax like at home. The toilet is also a standalone type.
The room I stayed in was on a higher floor, offering a partial view of the sea from the window, which felt like a bonus.
I did not have breakfast, but the café area had a variety of stylish menu options available. I felt that it was a hotel that understands the needs of travelers well and is highly convenient.
I would likely use this hotel again.
Experiences during the trip
Within walking distance from the hotel is a popular café-restaurant known for its massive portions called "Kurisutaru". The volume is truly remarkable, so if you're interested, make sure to come hungry.
Additionally, the area around Asato Station, a few stations away on the Yui Rail, is densely packed with various bars and restaurants. During this visit, I tried a standing wine bar. There are many reasonable priced establishments, so it might be nice to casually hop between them.
