Point 1: What is the location of “Dot Hotel My Beach Resort”?
Dot Hotel Mai Beach Resort” is located in Kanamu-cho in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island. It is about an hour’s drive from Naha Airport. It is a quiet environment surrounded by beautiful beaches and abundant nature. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, restaurant, bar, and spa.
It takes less than one hour from Naha Airport via Prefectural Route 222 and Okinawa Expressway.
By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 190, which passes in front of Hotel Collective on Kokusai-dori, to Huoya, transfer to Okinawa Bus No. 77, get off at Yaka Daini Danchi Iriguchi, and the hotel is just a 2-minute walk away.
Those who were hesitant to visit Kinmu-cho on the east coast because it is a town where not many tourists go and information is scarce may find that it takes surprisingly little time and can be easily reached by local bus, which may broaden the range of activities on your Okinawa trip.
The hotel is right in front of the beach. You can even hear the sound of the waves from your guest room.
However, it was not a simple process to open the hotel, and there was an accident such as a water leak just before the opening, and it was opened with great difficulty in December 2023.
There are not many entertainment facilities around, and it is a small, white hotel with a total of 22 rooms, but it has a pool and beach, so it is especially recommended for those who want to genuinely enjoy their stay or marine activities.
