It is quite difficult to choose the best hotel, as there are various conditions such as whether you want to play actively, spend time leisurely, or take the family, etc., for various purposes and uses.

Therefore, we would like to introduce our recommended hotels to help you choose the best hotel for your trip to Okinawa.

Please take a look at the information to the end of this page and use it as a reference when selecting your travel accommodations!

 

Points for choosing a hotel in Okinawa

 

The choice of hotel is probably as important as the choice of sightseeing spots in order to enjoy your trip to Okinawa.

The elongated shape of the main island of Okinawa is large, with sightseeing spots scattered throughout the island, so depending on the spot you are visiting, you may need to consider a hotel or other sightseeing base.

Therefore, we will explain the points to consider when choosing a hotel, which is also an important base for your stay in Okinawa.

First, the main island of Okinawa can be roughly divided into southern, northern, and central regions.

If you want to visit a wide range of tourist spots, you should stay in the southern part of the country, where Naha Airport, the gateway to Okinawa, is located.

It is also convenient to choose hotels in the central area that are centrally located and not too far from the airport.

On the other hand, the northern area is a bit further from Naha Airport, so it will take more than an hour to reach your accommodation if you are driving.

However, it is also an area where popular luxury resort hotels are concentrated, making the northern part of the country the best choice for those who mainly want to enjoy hotel stays.

Furthermore, if you want to choose a hotel at the lowest possible price, you may want to choose by season.

For example, after the New Year when it is chilly and few tourists come to swim in the sea, from mid-May to early July when the rainy season arrives, and from September to November when the typhoon season is in full swing are off-season, and hotel prices tend to drop along with airline tickets.

If you prefer to enjoy hotel stays rather than sightseeing, please visit Okinawa in the off-season to take advantage of the best hotel deals.
