The hotel facilities are new and clean. It's conveniently located within walking distance of Kokusai Street, making it easy to return after buying souvenirs or having lunch/dinner. The hotel rooms are spacious, and there's a small public bath and sauna on the 3rd floor, perfect for relieving fatigue. However, there are only three shower stalls, so be prepared for a potential wait on weekends. The hotel also offers a Brazilian BBQ semi-buffet dinner, with a 20% discount for guests. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

Had a great experience on this day tour! Although there was no guide, the driver clearly informed us of the meeting time at every stop, which made the trip smooth and stress-free. The bus was comfortable and the schedule was well planned, giving us enough time to explore each place. Overall, a very convenient way to visit several attractions in one day.

A male staff member at the counter, who appeared to be Japanese, asked me to use the self-service check-in machine, but offered no guidance or explanation. Since it was my first time checking in and using it, the man only approached me with a displeased expression and pressed the button. The experience was unpleasant.

This is perfect for those who want to explore northern Okinawa but prefer not to drive. Highly recommended! 😎

Must-Visit Attractions in Shurijo Castle, Okinawa
Shurei-mon Gate
Make sure to include a trip to the Shureimon Gate, constructed in the early 16th century by King Sho Sei. This stone gate was historically used for ceremonial entrances to the castle, and walking beneath its majestic seven-meter-high red-tiled roof evokes a sense of royal grandeur. Despite facing destruction multiple times over the years, the ceremonial gate was most recently reconstructed in 1958.
Seiden (Main Hall)
The Seiden, currently under reconstruction, was the most lavishly decorated building and a landmark of Okinawa. It served as the venue for major state affairs and ceremonies.
Kankaimon Gate
Built around 1477--1500, Kankaimon Gate is the first main gate to the castle grounds. It was restored in 1974 after being destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945.
Una Plaza
Facing the Seiden, Una Plaza was where ceremonies took place. Surrounding the plaza were the Hokuden (North Hall - destroyed), Nanden (South Hall - destroyed), and the Hoshinmon (Hoshin Gate - survived). The Hokuden and Nanden were administrative buildings used to welcome guests from China and mainland Japan.
