Experience of the stay
This time it was a relaxing trip for 2 nights and 3 days.
I chose a hotel that is about 7 minutes by taxi from Naha Airport,
so we can spend leisurely time without rushing on the day of departure.
The outdoor hot spring bath is pleasantly warm,
and the indoor bath is hotter, which is a good balance ♨️.
The room's bath amenities are from L'Occitane,
and they smell amazing!
There’s even body lotion included!
For sightseeing, there are various options like bus, taxi, and monorail from the airport,
so you don't need a rental car if you don't plan to go far.
On the first day, we visited Umikaji Terrace, Kokusai Dori, and Yachimun Street,
on the second day, we took a leisurely walk by the seaside in the morning.
Although it wasn't planned, we found out that the popular Naminoue Shrine is surprisingly close,
so we could make our hatsumode (New Year's visit to a shrine) there! ⛩️ It was wonderful!
We returned to the hotel and bought bread at the bakery downstairs 🍞,
and then we spent a relaxing time enjoying the hot springs at the hotel.
There's a Seven-Eleven on the first floor of the hotel,
and a supermarket right in front, so shopping for drinks in the room 🍺 is easy.
There are izakayas and cafes within walking distance,
and a long-established steakhouse. Kokusai Dori is just a little further,
so you won't have to worry about food.
If you're thinking about a resort-style trip in Okinawa, this might not be the place,
but if you want to enjoy shopping and dining, I recommend this hotel.
Experiences during the trip
I went to a long-established steakhouse!
It's a very popular place, so be prepared to wait outside for an hour.
This time it was winter, so it was manageable,
but be careful of heat stroke in the summer.
I ordered the popular tenderloin steak!
It comes with salad, soup, and rice or bread,
so women should be fine with the S size (150g).
If men aren't big eaters, the M size should be good too.
My husband was satisfied with the M size.
