My family enjoyed playing in the river and enjoying the fresh greenery! …
Hi PONKOTSU
4/5
This is an old private house style accommodation. Pets are allowed (conditions apply), so I considered it as a candidate, but since it was my first time visiting Okinawa, I thought it would be too boring to visit the place, so I decided against it. However, when I stopped by Cape Hedo, it was beautiful and the location was perfect. There is a stream, so I think families with small children will have no trouble playing there. The downside is that if you stay for several nights, you won't be able to have a barbecue every day...The problem is that there aren't many restaurants nearby. Even taking that into consideration, the environment is a good place, so please consider it as a candidate.

I visited this place during my trip around Okinawa.*You will not be using the hotel; you will only be eating at the on-site restaurant and walking around the area.Therefore, the rooms and services are given an intermediate rating.This is a place I discovered while driving counterclockwise around Okinawa, but is it in the countryside of Okinawa? I don't know if that's the right word, but I came across a relaxing and idyllic place.The restaurant's prices are low and the taste is average, or homely. It was friendly and friendly, and the portions were very satisfying.By chance, I was able to see a wild Yanbaru rail while driving about 5 minutes before arriving here.It was a nice break since we had been running through empty places for a while (though the scenery was perfect).I can't say that the atmosphere, surrounding environment, or convenience is high enough that I would want to stay there next time, but I think there are ways to enjoy Okinawa in these places♪

The tempura shop's Obachan is the best ♥️ It's not just tempura! It's full of love! I think you'll understand when you eat it. It's incredibly bright and energizing. I once went shopping every day. It's the kind of place you'll want to go to over and over again while driving.

I went there expecting to see a carp streamer festival, but it felt lonely. As shown in the photo. It was nice to be able to relax while lying on the wide grass next to the gently flowing river. The children were able to play in the river. I would like to stay there next time.

Different from the seaside luxury resort hotel, it is a stand-alone accommodation located in the Kunigami Village National Park Reserve, a World Natural Heritage Site surrounded by mountains in the north. It was very quiet at night, but it was a pity that the weather was not good on the day of my visit and I was not able to see the starry sky. There is a barbecue equipment outdoors and you need to make a reservation in advance. There is no meal provided, so you need to prepare your own ingredients. It’s an alternative to stay away from the crowds in Okinawa’s busy areas.

Accommodations should instruct guests to be quiet around 9pm.Parents should make sure that the child gets a good night's sleep and avoid binge drinking until late at night. ! !Please contact me if you need anything tonight. With only emergency contact information, there are no staff at the hotel, leaving everything to the guests alone.The noise from people is worse than many other accommodations! The downside of this facility is that there is alcohol involved with the barbecue, and entertainment is always included until night.Some guests have no common sense.I do not recommend Sheba.It's a very good place, and I want people who use it to be truly satisfied, so I've given it a rating and posted it for reference. I don't want you to feel the same way.There are two guest rooms in one building, and they are right next to each other, but perhaps because they are separated by a single thin board, you can hear all the sounds of doors opening and closing and slightly loud voices.It doesn't bother me during the day.It's a heaven of nature and barbecues, and at night there's the noise of children who don't sleep until late at night, the constant yelling of a drunk and grumpy father, the sounds of banging on something, and the noise of furniture being handled roughly. I'm exhausted from driving long distances and having fun during the day, but I can't sleep at all and it's hell. I felt terrible. When it comes to reservations, I do not recommend Sheba! ! !It's hell! It was noisy until dawn! Then, I drove a long distance home due to lack of sleep. That's the worst!Other than that, I think it's a great place with a rating of 5 stars. I would be happy if I could enjoy nature and sleep peacefully.
