Hirara no Yu Tabino Hotel Lit Miyakojima

This is my third stay, and every time I’ve stayed in a Room with a washing machine, refrigerator, sink, and microwave—simply very convenient. Since Okinawa is hot, you can do laundry right away even after sweating, so you can bring fewer clothes.There is also a large public bath, making the stay truly comfortable. Of course, it doesn’t have a beach or pool like a luxury Resort Hotel, but it’s an ideal location for driving to various beaches. There’s also a convenience store within walking distance and plenty of restaurants nearby—truly a “convenience store Hotel.”

This is my third or fourth stay. As always, everything is clean, there’s plenty of greenery, and arriving at this Miyakojima-style Room feels relaxing. I especially look forward to breakfast, and I’m always satisfied with the delicious local Miyako dishes. I once stayed at Tabino Hotel in Kashima, but the breakfast was completely different—maybe Okinawan cuisine just has a special vibrancy. The location is also excellent; I was able to walk around to places like the public market. I think I’ll be staying here again next year.
