Experience of the stay
This time, I went on a regular Okinawa trip with fellow travelers I met through HafH! We rented a car and decided to stay at the 'BEB5 Okinawa Seragaki by Hoshino Resorts' located on the western coast of Okinawa Island! I heard that a water bath was newly built near the barrel sauna, and I was excited as I completed the check-in!
【Room Impression】
This time, I chose the 'Yuntaku Suite'! The Yuntaku Suite is a spacious 68m², with a separate living room and bedroom. The living space has an open design with beautiful views of the sea, allowing you to enjoy the light and breeze of Okinawa. In the bedroom, there are 2 low beds and 1 extra bed, making it comfortable for families or groups.
From the moment I entered the room, I felt 'I'm so happy to be able to spend a few days here!' What I was especially pleased with was the well-equipped kitchen!
There are 2 IH cooktops, and you can even rent cooking utensils like pots and knives for free!
For the first day's dinner, we bought famous Bueno Chicken in Okinawa and ingredients from a nearby supermarket and had a shabu-shabu party in our room! The luxury of being able to eat as much as we wanted at our own timing was amazing!
【Barrel Sauna Experience】
Before dinner, I went to the barrel sauna available in the facility. Wearing a swimsuit is mandatory, so make sure to prepare properly! It's okay to change in your room before heading there! Sauna hats and mats can also be rented, so even first-timers can feel at ease. I brought my own sauna hat and mat!
The important thing about the sauna is that the temperature of the barrel sauna is around 70°C, which is slightly lower than the usual saunas, but this was perfect!
You feel hotter the closer you are to the sauna stove, but since the temperature isn’t too high, you can stay for a long time! With self-loriyu (pouring water on the coals) available, you can enjoy it at your own pace.
After leaving the sauna, there is a personal water bath right in front, where you can cool your body well before thoroughly wiping off moisture with a towel, and then you can look forward to a happy relaxation time in the infinity chairs! There are about 4 chairs, and resting while gazing at the starry sky of Okinawa was the best! After returning to the room, I washed my swimsuit in the drum washer. Since detergent is also provided, it's nice to be able to wash it right away. As someone staying for two nights, this facility is very helpful!
Experiences during the trip
Before heading to BEB5 Okinawa Seragaki, I met with a friend who had stayed overnight near Kokusai Dori in Naha and we went to 'JAM'S Tacos - Kokusai Dori Branch'! We ordered the Jam Taco Set, which includes tacos, taco rice, and fries—a great deal! I was recommended to eat the tacos with salt and when I tried it, the taco shell was crispy and chewy, and it was incredibly delicious! The cabbage was also fluffy and could be eaten easily and refreshingly!
