Experience of the stay
For many years now, whenever friends ask me for recommendations for hotels in Okinawa, I always prioritize recommending Hotel Anteroom Naha. The reason is simple - it is truly special.
Naha City has many good hotels, but surprisingly, not many are this close to the beach.
It can be quite difficult to find a place with a sea view.
However, everyone’s image of Okinawa often includes the desire to 'see the sea.'
If you don’t plan to drive to the resorts in the central or northern areas, then finding a place in the city that has a sea view,
Hotel Anteroom Naha is definitely the top choice.
It is especially suitable for solo travelers looking to unwind and enjoy a relaxed vacation atmosphere.
Generally, staying in large resorts alone can be less economical, but the prices at this hotel are ideal for solo travelers, and the amenities exceed expectations.
I particularly recommend choosing the artist collaboration room type. This room type is located on the second floor, the same level as the lobby, because the lobby is designed like an art gallery that can host exhibitions, with a particularly high ceiling. This means that although the artist room type on the second floor is not very spacious, the high ceiling gives a very spacious feeling and enhances the vacation atmosphere.
Although it takes about a 15-minute walk from the station, which might not be suitable for staying every day, I highly recommend arranging a special night here to experience it. This place has an irreplaceable atmosphere like an art museum and a sea view outside the window, making it truly worth spending a night to feel.
The hotel is located near Tomari Port, which is very ideal if you plan to take a boat from Naha to the nearby islands for a short trip — it only takes a five-minute walk to reach the port, and catching the early ferry is very convenient.
Additionally, you can stroll to the only beach in Naha City, 'Naminoue Beach,' in just a short distance.
Although the location is slightly off, there are convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance, so daily living functions are not an issue.
In any case, Hotel Anteroom Naha is a hotel that cannot be missed when visiting Naha.
I really like this place; even if I don’t stay overnight, I will make a special trip just to have a cup of coffee.
This space has such great charm. You have to come and experience it for yourself!
Experiences during the trip
You can take a walk to the only beach in Okinawa City, 'Naminoue Beach,' near the hotel.
In addition to walking on the beach, you can also swim and enjoy the water here in the summer!
A ten-minute walk away is a highly recommended small eatery run by a local Okinawan auntie, 'Ejima Shokudo.'
Although it requires a little courage to push open the door, it's definitely worth it!
The small space with only a few seats at the bar is very warm, and the Okinawan dishes made by the auntie are both delicious and affordable.
I ordered the bitter melon and scrambled eggs set meal, which tasted very elegant, especially the Okinawan 'shima tofu,' which was really tasty.
The set meal only costs 800 yen and is quite large, providing a good sense of fullness.
I also highly recommend the hotel’s café, 'Anteroom Meals Naha.'
The high-ceilinged space with large floor-to-ceiling windows allows you to enjoy the sea view, and there are many drink options, including refreshing smoothies made to order.
