#Domestic hotel review I stayed at [YAWN YARD Kouri Island] on my trip to Okinawa. I stayed in a room called Hill 1. You can see the ocean from a small hill. The roof of the big room in front of you gives you a great view 😭, so if you're staying there, I recommend the building called Sea ♪ I'd like to stay at Sea next time too 🥰 However, the Hill room is on a small hill, so it seems that the starry sky is beautiful ♪ When I made the reservation, there was almost no information, so I didn't know what the view from the room was 😂 But the room was stylish and nice. It seems to be based on a traditional Okinawan house, and there was a balcony with a pool, a bathroom, and a Japanese-style room around a small garden ♪ The bath and pool are designed so that you can go back and forth directly, and you can go into the bath after going into the pool, which is a great flow! You have to go out of the room to go to the balcony, pool, toilet, etc., but there is a roof so you don't have to worry about getting wet! I'm also happy that the pool is always heated to 30 degrees ☺️ I forgot my swimsuit and couldn't go in 😭 Next time I'd like to go in with a swimsuit 🫶 I'm also happy that the breakfast obanzai is served by the pool and brought to the room ☺️ The staff are all kind and told me about various recommended spots in Okinawa 🫶 Amenities include lotion, cleansing, shampoo, treatment, and face wash! There was also coffee and Okinawan tea bags ♪ 📍 YAWN YARD Kouri Island 1792-1 Kouri, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 905-0406 ●Check-out time: ~11:00●Meals: Breakfast included●Room: (hill) King (whole building rental) x 1 room●Number of guests: 2 adults #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaVilla #yawnyard

🗾 Overview of Okinawa: Okinawa Island is not very large and can be roughly divided into three parts: the southern, central, and northern regions. You can get a good sense of the island in five days and four nights, but if you want to include the outlying islands, you will need about a week.

#1月好去地方2025 On Kouri Island in northern Okinawa, drive across the Kouri Bridge, where the sea and sky meet, and arrive at the island's highest point, the Kouri Ocean Tower. The four-story white tower stands on the hillside. Climbing the tower gives you a commanding view, with a bird's eye view of the Kouri Bridge from the best angle. You need to buy a ticket to enter the Ocean Tower. The on-site ticket is ¥1,000. It is more cost-effective to buy it online or buy a combined ticket. The biggest selling point should be experiencing the driverless park car, which drives slowly uphill all the way. Because it drives slowly, you can also enjoy the scenery and plants along the way, which is quite interesting. The Ocean Tower consists of a gift shop, a shell museum and an observation deck, with indoor and rooftop areas for viewing and taking photos. The souvenir shop has everything, and you can buy all the souvenirs of Okinawa. In short, it is just a small attraction for family relaxation. However, the Kouri Bridge is very beautiful when the weather is good, and the sea and sky are very beautiful for taking pictures. It is better to find a coffee shop to stare at the sea and chill. #Okinawa Travel #Kouri Island #Kouri Ocean Tower

A breathtaking cafe overlooking Unten Port. Each photo spot, inspired by Bali, Hawaii, and Mexico, is incredibly well-crafted! The birdcage, in particular, was super cute. I went there for a meal, but it seems that the menu was completely different when my friend went in September compared to when I went in October. The Spam Bake Bowl I had was a bowl with avocado, grilled spam, and macaroni. There was also a free water dispenser inside the cafe. 【CASA SOL】 〒905-0412 Okinawa Prefecture, Kunigami District, Nakijin Village, Yagawa 661

#Cherry Blossoms 2024 #Nakijin Village’s #Beach On January 1, 2024, I got off the bus, did not cross the road, and walked into the small road. There were many village houses and holiday homes on both sides. The path in the forest, with swaying tree shadows, is also unique! After walking for 10-15 minutes, there is a beach at the end. The water is clear and the sand is fine. The sky is blue and white clouds after the rain, which makes people feel refreshed! The weather is still cold in January, and the beach is sparsely populated. Listening to the sound of the waves, I feel relaxed and happy!

#Free VIP room change on the 27th of each month Member Day #Okinawa #Nakijin Castle Ruins #Sakura In late January 2024, the cherry blossoms at Nakijin Castle in Okinawa were lit up around 6pm in the evening. The cherry blossom patterns were projected on the ground. The pink, white and red spotlights added a lot of color to the cherry blossoms! The cherry blossom festival in the evening is also unique!

I'd like to introduce you to my favorite hotel in Okinawa that you definitely want to stay at. I've stayed at "EMIL NAKIJIN" 7 times when I go to Okinawa. It is the ultimate minimalist hotel built on a hill in Nakijin Village in northern Okinawa. Designed by architect Shinichi Ogawa, EMIL NAKIJIN has a beautiful rectangular exterior, and its appearance standing alone on the hill in Nakijin Village captivates people who see it. Not only the exterior, but each and every room is also sophisticated. There is no unnecessary furniture, but the space is full, and if you open all the large windows, you can spend time feeling the beautiful infinity pool and the magnificent view of the Okinawan sea with your whole body and becoming one with nature. The owner is also very kind, so if you go to Okinawa, it's a hotel you definitely want to stay at. #wintertrip #nakijinvillage #emilnakijin #okinawa #okinawatrip #okinawatourism

The coffee is roasted in a clay pot. The couple's sense was outstanding and matched perfectly, and I was completely moved😭 The large painting was apparently a live painting by Miroko Machiko... ✔︎Caramel pudding ✔︎Tofu chocolate cake GF.VG ✔︎Iced cafe latte ✔︎Iced chai Even though it was my first time here, I felt comfortable for some reason, and was soothed by the butterfly that came out of nowhere through the window, and had a wonderful afternoon🕰️ They also sold miscellaneous goods◎ There were many natural items that were attractive Next time I'd like to enjoy lunch there too🍴 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 from Tabelog 278-3 Nakasone, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture ︎𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 from Tabelog 11:30-16:00 Closed: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Okinawa tourism #winter trip #Okinawa #Okinawa trip #Okinawa prefecture #Okinawa trip #Okinawa cafe #cafe #cafe hopping

Kouri Island is located in the north of Okinawa. It is famous for its beautiful ocean scenery and the legend of the origin of the Ryukyu people. It is known as the "Island of Love"~ Although the area here is not large, I would like to call it a must-visit attraction in Okinawa~ Looking out the car window at the sea view, I was surprised. Such a clear and gradient sea is really beautiful~ As soon as I got off the car, I went straight to the sea. Under the sunshine, it was like a star falling into the sea. Everything became romantic The wind in November is very cool. If you are tired of playing on the beach, you can also buy ice cream at Blue Seal. This store can be seen everywhere in Okinawa. It is a highly recommended attraction~ #Overseas Travel #Good Travel Place #Japan Travel #Okinawa
