Experience of the stay
This time, I used HafH to come to a condominium type hotel called 'BLUE STEAK WONDER CHATAN' located in Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture.
The only means of transportation to go outside of Naha City, Okinawa, is either by car or bus.
Access to Chatan, where American Village is located, is necessarily by car.
On the day of my stay, I also traveled to the hotel by car.
While BLUE STEAK WONDER CHATAN is located in Chatan, it is not within American Village.
It is located near Miyagi Coast, a bit away from American Village.
You could walk from American Village, but it would take more than 20 minutes on foot.
The room I stayed in was a comfort twin.
The room is simple with no decorative elements, but it is spacious and feels very open.
It felt like I had arrived at a slightly larger hotel overseas. In fact, there seem to be many foreign guests staying here.
Since it is a condominium type hotel, there are no card keys, and instead, you receive a “real key” from the hotel staff.
It feels like an apartment, and it seems suitable for mid to long-term stays.
Opened on December 24, 2020, it is still relatively new, and the kitchen looked clean, as if it had not been used much.
The refrigerator is quite large. As expected of a condominium type.
The amenity toothbrush was actually made of wood.
The bathtub is also spacious and seems to be designed for foreign sizes.
While BLUE STEAK WONDER CHATAN is suitable for mid to long-term stays since it is a condominium type, I think that there are not many people who would use it for that long if they are HafH neighbors.
Additionally, since it is somewhat distant from American Village, the location may be a bit inconvenient.
However, the nearby Miyagi Coast is also a diving spot, so I would recommend it to people who are considering staying in this area.
Experiences during the trip
On the evening of the day of my stay, I visited a restaurant called Emerald Oceanside, which is relatively close to BLUE STEAK WONDER CHATAN along Miyagi Coast.
It's a sister restaurant of the long-established steakhouse "Emerald," which is famous in Okinawa.
The interior has a nice American atmosphere.
A popular menu item is the bacon & fried onion topping cheese burger.
It's filling and hearty, but above all, it was an incredibly delicious hamburger.
There is also a standard menu item, the original steak (350g).
The steak in Okinawa is lean meat with almost no fat. It's a very meaty steak, and personally, I really like it.
The day after my stay, I visited "Hamaya," a super famous Okinawa soba restaurant that I had wanted to visit for a long time.
It's located in Chatan, but a little far from American Village.
Since it's near Miyagi Coast, right next to American Village, I walked from BLUE STEAK WONDER CHATAN.
In the picture is the popular No.1 menu item, Hamaya Soba (large).
It was probably the most delicious Okinawa soba I have ever had.
The broth is light with a flavor of bonito, and the torched soki (pork) is tender and incredibly tasty.
The restaurant always seems to be busy, and it's impressive that many US military personnel from Kadena Base come to eat here.
I also visited American Village and Kadena Marina.
I absolutely love the Chatan area of Okinawa, and I can't help but feel excited.
