This accommodation, where I stayed for three nights, seems suitable for both tourists and short-term renters in Japan. It's conveniently located, a short drive from the interchange, about five minutes from the well-known restaurants A&W and BLUE SEAL Makiminato, and about 10-15 minutes from American Village. The rooms are more like small suites, with a kitchen equipped with an induction cooker, microwave, and water heater.
Check-in time is 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM (please inform us in advance if you are late). Because we were unfamiliar with the area and encountered heavy rain on our first day, we arrived after 9:00 PM. Seeing that there was no one at the front desk, we were quite disheartened. Despite the language barrier, we still called the staff to check in. Using Trip.com's free internet phone, the staff member who answered spoke Chinese, which was incredibly helpful! They also successfully provided us with the key box code for self-check-in, allowing us to check in smoothly.
The suite includes a washing machine, and a dryer is available in the common area on the second floor (we didn't use it during our stay). However, we think it's suitable for travelers who don't like to bring a lot of luggage!
The bathtub in the bathroom was quite large for Japanese standards, and we took a bath every day!
There were two trash cans outside the room (one for combustible waste and one for recyclable waste). There were also trash cans inside the room, but daily cleaning incurs an extra charge, so it's recommended to rinse your trash and dispose of it in the trash cans outside the room.
Parking costs 1000 yen per day. On our second day, a torrential downpour hit Okinawa, leaving us feeling utterly exhausted. We called ahead to inquire about kitchenware; it was available for rent at 500 yen per use (no limit on the number of days; staff would collect it from the room after check-out). Knowing we were still out and couldn't return by 9 PM, the staff left our dishes outside the room. We initially thought it would be very basic, perhaps only containing pots and pans, but the contents were surprisingly plentiful (a soup pot, frying pan, knife, cutting board, whisk, bowls, plates, drainer, etc., were all provided).
I only paid 500 yen to rent a room for two consecutive dinners, which I think is a great deal. Other equipment for rent is also posted in the elevator, and the prices seem reasonable.
Thank you to the front desk staff for their timely assistance. If I have the opportunity to visit Okinawa again in the future, I will definitely consider this hotel first. ☺️❤️
