Okinawa Prefecture
Okinawa, Japan’s southern island paradise, is famed for its turquoise seas, subtropical climate, and rich Ryukyu heritage. Beyond its stunning beaches, the main island offers world-class diving, vibrant coral reefs, and historic sites like Shuri Castle and the Nakijin and Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. Visitors can explore traditional villages, lush forests, and unique cultural experiences year-round. Okinawa’s food scene is equally captivating, featuring local specialties such as Okinawa Soba and slow-braised Rafutee. With its blend of natural beauty, history, and warm island hospitality, Okinawa promises an unforgettable journey in every season.

This was a wonderful activity to do when you need a change from the usual tourist activities, plus a unique momento to take home. It was slow paced which is what kintsugi is all about. Thw ladies helped improve my attempt and it was a delightful afternoon all round

I participated in the experience in a corner of a travel agency office, but the environment and convenience were much better than those at Ryukyu Mura or Okinawa World.
The explanation was detailed and friendly, and I liked that I could choose and paint products other than shisa.
The only downside, which is understandable, was that the brushes weren't in great condition because many people were using them alternately. This made it difficult to add detail when painting, which was a shame.

What a pleasure to meet Our guide: Taiji Yamakawa! My son and I took a bucket list trip to Okinawa and wanted to learn more about the Kendo martial art. This Kendo experience was very informative, intimate, and great exercise too! Our guide explained to us the practices of Kendo and the importance of respect and to be passionate with the movements and sounds. We were fitted with our Dogi and Hakama (Kendo upper and lower garments) and taught step by step basic moves, stances, parts of our equipment, and how to use the Shinai (bamboo sword) If you are not Japanese speaking, it would be hepful to bring a translator tool to ask more in depth questions. We have gained so much respect for this martial art and the skill and discipline it takes. This IS a very physical activity, so stay hydrated and prepare to sweat! Next, it was time to battle each other and put all the moves together! Thank you for such a memorable experience Taiji! We look forward to hearing about your championships!

I created my own custom perfume, and the shop even made a personalized label for my unique bottle! It was a super creative experience that satisfied my love for fragrance. Thanks to the handsome shop owner for his patient service.

Transportation: Both the day tour and Limousine A shuttle bus services include this as a mandatory stop, making it ideal for travelers without a rental car.
Location: Situated in the heart of American Village, it's surrounded by photo spots, restaurants, and entertainment facilities.
Cleanliness: Aside from a slight musty smell from the air conditioning, the room is cleaned and tidied daily. The balcony is large but lacks seating or a clothes rack, which feels like a waste.
Breakfast: The hamburger steak is excellent and requires self-heating.
Service: Very polite and smiling staff who, while not fluent in English, are eager to communicate. I wasn't aware that the hotel could also assist with booking bus tickets to Naha Airport. There's a dedicated staff member in the lobby to help send souvenirs back home. Overall, very satisfied.

I stayed here on my last day after returning the rental car. It's not big, but it has everything you need, and the monorail access is great. There was a small event prepared by the hotel every day, and when I stayed there, there was a traditional costume experience, so the kids wore them and took pictures. It was mid-January, so I couldn't use the outdoor swimming pool, but it was nice to be able to use the small outdoor hot spring. There are also Korean staff, so there are no problems with communication. Oh... this hotel's happy hour is amazing. There's beer, sake, and snake wine, so I bought food at the nearby MaxValu in the evening and had a meal. They also give out free ramen from around 8pm. Honestly, the taste isn't that great, but I needed soup, so it was good. However, the weekly parking fee is expensive, and since it's downtown, the road conditions are complicated, so you should think about it if you have a car. (Parking is also a mechanical tower parking lot.) Anyway, it's a hotel with more advantages than disadvantages in many ways.

It's within walking distance of Kokusai Street in Naha, but not so close that the surroundings are noisy, and it's well-maintained. The facilities are well-organized, the view is great, and it's a good space for simple meals indoors. There is a lounge area on the 2nd floor, as well as coin laundry and a water purifier.
