The meeting point at the hotel in Naha was very easy, and the guide was punctual and friendly. We departed on time, the transportation was comfortable, and the day went completely stress-free. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see northern Okinawa without renting a car.

The bathrooms are very spacious and comfortable. You absolutely must visit the amenities and welcome room; it's like a large, thoughtfully designed store. The lifeguards at the outdoor pool are well-equipped. If it rains, there's an indoor pool and a small play area for toddlers. Breakfast is delicious. The only inconvenience is that you need a car to get to the convenience store.

Although it's a hotel with a lot of history, the kids had a great time. The best part was that the pool was open until 10 PM during the summer, allowing the kids to completely burn off all their energy. The breakfast was also delicious, and the staff were very polite. I would still recommend coming here next time.

The hotel is right next to the beach, which is absolutely beautiful. You can walk straight to the beach from the back door. The ocean view rooms offer stunning scenery, making you not want to leave. The hotel rooms show a bit of age, but they are very clean and comfortable. The only downside is that there are often bikers speeding down the road in front of the hotel late at night. For those sensitive to noise, earplugs might be ideal for sleeping.
