Experience of the stay
I used this place as a stopover before going to the remote islands.
I was planning to catch the earliest ferry the next morning, so I chose Hoshino Resort, which is close to Naha Port and seems great for sightseeing on Kokusai-dori.
I didn’t rent a car this time, but it was convenient to get there using a bus or the Yui Rail from Naha Airport.
Perhaps because it was a weekday, I was given a room on the top floor, and the view was very nice.
There is no bathtub, just a shower.
The toilet is separate.
The place was clean and generally nice.
At night, the lobby on the first floor becomes a fantastical space with Ryukyu glass. On the day I stayed, a sanshin live performance was held on the second floor, and although my stay was short, I felt I was able to enjoy Okinawa fully.
Experiences during the trip
Since I came to Okinawa, I wanted to enjoy something Okinawan, and after some deliberation, I decided to eat Okinawa soba from Sobe and Fujikea zenzai.
Especially, Sobe's mackerel soba was light and delicious.
It contained three-layered pork and soft-boned soki.
I visited around 5 PM on a weekday and was able to enter without waiting.
There were many tourists, and it felt like customers were constantly coming in.
I also wanted to try a hamburger, but I gave up because I was too full.
Although my stay in Okinawa was short this time, I felt that I could enjoy the area near Kokusai-dori.
