For most travelers, Naha International Airport (OKA) is the primary and most practical gateway to Ginowan, handling both domestic and international flights. While it is located in the neighboring city of Naha rather than Ginowan itself, it offers the most extensive ground transport options, including monorail, local buses, and taxis, making it the most cost-effective and fastest arrival point. The remaining airports in the whitelist—Yoron Airport (RNJ), Kumejima Airport (UEO), and Okinoerabu Airport (OKE)—are all located on separate islands in neighboring prefectures and are not in Ginowan. These smaller, domestic-only regional airports primarily serve their respective islands and do not offer direct transport to Ginowan. Travelers using these hubs must first secure a flight to Naha International Airport (OKA) before connecting to Ginowan. Consequently, these regional airports should only be considered if you are visiting those specific islands as part of a multi-leg journey in the Okinawa or Amami archipelago.

This hotel offers top-notch facilities, ambiance, and service. It's nestled in Ginowan, providing a quiet retreat while still being close to the action. There's a mall and convenience stores nearby, and a public beach, perfect for kids and families due to its shallow waters, is just a five-minute walk across the road. A taxi from the airport costs about 130 RMB and takes around 40 minutes, so the journey isn't too tiring.
The hotel service is excellent, from the warm welcome upon arrival to being escorted to your room, and the friendly and polite bartending service at the lounge. My only minor complaint is that the lounge breakfast is basically a simplified version of what's offered downstairs, and doesn't really stand out except for being less crowded. They also don't offer an à la carte menu there. I'd recommend having breakfast on the first floor; it's not very busy there either.
The hotel also features an infinity pool, a rock bath, and a laundry room. The bathtub in our room was spotless, and we enjoyed a relaxing bath every day during our stay, which was wonderful for unwinding after our travels. The soundproofing at night is also excellent, ensuring a high-quality sleep.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel. It's conveniently located close to Naha and also not far from the airport.FromUS$194

The hotel is very new and modern. Rooms are correct and a big bigger than in other cities in Japan. They are very clean and have a nice balcony facing the seaside. The staff is very kind and they serve free drinks from 4-7pm. The breakfast is correct and offers a little variaty of food. Products are in general fresh.
There's a Family Market 24/7 just at the entrance of the hotel. Few nice restaurants are also available for lunch or dinner closeby (some can be reached by foot).
The direct bus from/to the airport (bus 143!) stops just 100mt away from the hotel and it's very convenient. You also have buses for Naha City and to some beachside destinations. The nicest beach is Araha (40min by foot, 20min by bus 63, and 10-15 by car). Tropical beach is also closer but I preferred Araha with a lot more restaurants facing the beach and a lot of people and call family in the evening (there is also a kids ground).
The Hrand Hotel Ginowan is a nice place to stay.FromUS$57

Living alone is very comfortable.
It feels like home; everything is provided: washing machine, microwave, induction cooker—it's great.
However, there's one small drawback: I don't have any utensils or cookware. I have to prepare everything myself if I want to cook.
There's also a 24-hour store nearby, which is convenient for shopping.FromUS$42

A comfortable and warm homestay! But you need to drive by yourself to get there! The parking location needs to go through a steep slope! ! (Very steep) Although there is no washing machine and dryer in the room, it is shared! The baking is very warm ～ There is a small kitchen in the room, only an electromagnetic wave stove, but the small cooking is enough! I like their dining table the most, like eating together at home ～

コンベンションセンターでのライブに参加するために宿泊しました。会場まで徒歩5分と好立地ですし、飲食店、スーパー、コンビニ等どこに行くにも便利のよいホテルでした。
アメニティも必要最低限なものは全て揃っているし、冷蔵庫の効きが少し悪い(勝手にスイッチが切れていることが何度かあった)ことを除けば大満足です。また是非利用したいと思います。

It belongs to a self-service apartment. There is a phone at the door. After calling, the Japanese staff opposite the Japanese will hear that you are Chinese and will transfer to the translation service center for a tripartite meeting. After that, the translation will tell you the way of opening the door and the password. There is a paper and pen on the edge of the phone. It is recommended to remember to take a photo. The room is complete, the refrigerator, kitchen and washing machine are complete, suitable for permanent residence, and there is a strange building similar to a bunker next door to the hotel, which is a bit gloomy at nightVery Good30 Reviews

I stayed for 4 nights for business use. The room was equipped with facilities that could be used for long-term stays such as washing machines and cooking utensils.
It was helpful that the bathroom drying was also installed.
It is very convenient because there were plenty of restaurants behind the hotel.
There is also a parking lot, but it is recommended to make a reservation in advance because there are limited numbers. (¥ 800/1day)
There is also a shared cycle stand in front of the hotel, so you can easily access the beach.FromUS$69

Attended a conference, hotel is 15min walk to Okinawa Convention centre which is convenient. The hotel is beautifully designed and has a spacious resort feel. The room also looked directly into the marina and ocean. The room suite was big and very clean with separated toilet and bath+shower area. The beds were comfortable and the living room had a sofa and large reclining couch. There was lots of storage with a full size fridge freezer and induction hob. utensils and cutlery are not provided. There was free common washing machine and dryer in each floor, and detergent can be purchased from the hotel shop. There was also a lot of parking but the pool was closed till April. The staff were very friendly and helpful could converse in English. The Ginowan city convention building was next door and had a big supermarket with reasonable prices as well as fresh sushi. There were several restaurants as well on the second floor aa well as various shops like Daiso and Hands. Highly recommendedFromUS$302

We are two big and two small. This is a very careful homestay. Many small places feel very intimate. There is a film attached to the bathroom sink. Japan is relatively dry. It is indeed necessary to put an ornament on the sink. A tray, you have to take off the accessories when you take a bath. This is a small detail that the hotel has not noticed in the past. The bath towel also provides two sets of different colors. It may be convenient for passengers to distinguish ～ and the response speed is also very fast. The family is also very suitable for ～.Amazing68 Reviews

This was my second time staying here, but I felt the staff were less enthusiastic this time around. The hotel offers complimentary drink vouchers for guests, with several options available from bottled water to canned alcoholic beverages. We, a group of three, couldn't even use all of ours. The room was neat and clean, and they provided several laundry detergent packets for washing clothes. All personal hygiene essentials were well-stocked, so you don't need to worry if you forget to bring your own. The hotel also has two parking lots, so parking is not an issue if you're driving. My only complaint about the service was that we stayed for 3 nights and told them we didn't need daily room cleaning. The staff said they would leave fresh towels and other amenities on a small rack outside our door on the third morning for us to replace, but they never did.FromUS$82

Although it is a certain distance from Naha city, it is convenient to go anywhere by bus, but I think it feels like a renovated house with clean and very good facilities, and the experience of renting a bicycle for 500 yen is very good Great. The person who seemed to be the owner of the house, but was very frank, asked for 110V socket contact, which was a bit unfriendly and didn't feel good. As a guest, the request was natural, and it seemed that the hotel had to be renovated. Is it impossibleFromUS$43
