Okinawa Zoo & Museum Tours

Very well-run and convenient hotel in downtown Naha. The hotel is within walking distance to several nearby attractions - Fukushuen Gardens, Naminoue Beach, and Kokusai Dori are all within a 5 to 15 minute walking distance. There are also a few monorail stations nearby and taxis are in and around the hotel constantly, so lots of transportation options. There are a tonne of restaurants nearby as well, offering many different food options, and I have yet to have a bad meal in the area. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, with very attentive and professional staff. They usually have someone at the front desk who can speak a decent level of English, though it always helps to have some Japanese knowledge and/or a translation device. The breakfast buffet is great, with both Japanese and western options. About the only negative thing I have to say is that the hotel is located in the "party district" of Naha, with lots of clubs and bars nearby. The hotel has great soundproofing, so you won't notice any noise, and I never felt unsafe, but the neighbourhood definitely gets "lively" after dark. During previous visits, the touts would only really go after locals and wouldn't even look at you if you were an obvious tourist, but I noticed this year I was getting approached a lot more with offers to go to various clubs and hostess bars. Some of the places are pretty sketchy, so I would recommend staying away. Overall, a very convenient and well-run hotel. Would recommend.

Everything was perfect.

Clean room, quiet area
