It is about 50 minutes by car from Naha Airport. It is a condominium-type hotel located in Miyagi, Chatan-cho, central Okinawa Island. The Miyagi Coast, a mecca for surfing and snorkeling, is right in front of the hotel, so many guests stay here for marine sports because they can put on their swimsuits and go right into the ocean from their rooms. The hotel is reasonably priced and friendly, so there are many repeat guests.
Parking is small and free, but the early bird gets the worm, so we recommend securing a spot early if possible.

Point 1: One street from the airport! What is the location of Hotel Sunset American?
Hotel Sunset American is a condominium-type hotel located on Miyagi Beach in Chatan-cho, central Okinawa.
The Miyagi Coast is famous for surfing, snorkeling, SUP, and other marine sports, and many of the guests stay at the hotel for such activities.
The ocean spreads out in front of the hotel, and guests can enjoy a dip in the ocean while wearing a swimsuit or wetsuit right from their hotel room! You can enjoy the ocean from your hotel room while wearing a swimsuit or wetsuit and dunking in the sea.
It takes about 50 minutes from Naha Airport via Route 58.
After passing American Village, continue on Route 58 for about 5 minutes and turn left when you see a Family Mart. The hotel is located near the Kadena Air Base Gate 1.
By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 120 and get off at “Kuki-tai Iriguchi” (Air Force Entrance), and you can reach the hotel in 12 minutes on foot. It is good that you can come here by bus without transferring! The fare is also less than 1,000 yen, 970 yen for the Ryukyu Bus.
The hotel looks like a condominium by the sea. The first floor used to be a restaurant, but it is now closed.
Even though it is a condominium type, there is a front desk, and after a careful explanation, we checked in!
I was relieved that they gave me a key instead of using a tablet to check-in.
It is not a new facility, but I felt nostalgic even though it was my first time staying at this hotel.
Point 2: 10 seconds to the ocean! Rooms at Hotel Sunset American!
Hotel Sunset American has two types of rooms: single (no view, ocean view) and twin (no view, ocean view).
The ocean-view rooms are slightly more expensive, but if possible, we recommend booking the ocean-view rooms as they offer a magnificent tropical sunset view on a clear day.
The single rooms are not very spacious and are the bare minimum, but the twin rooms have semi-double bed widths and are roomy and comfortable!
Even if you book a single room, there is a service that will upgrade you to a twin if there is space available.
Harbor View Rooms have a view of the Miyagi Coast nearby. It is probably rare to find a hotel with such a seaside location. However, if you have a room by the sea, you may hear people walking on the street along the beach, which may bother you.
Bathroom amenities are all in one place, and although they are not in the rooms, there is a shared washer, dryer, and microwave oven. (Free)
There is also a vending machine inside the building, which is convenient in case you forget to buy some snacks!
Even though it is a condominium type, it is also nice to have room clothes and slippers.
The price is a cheap site, sometimes around 7,000 yen per room during inexpensive periods, so with all these facilities, I can say that it is reasonable and very cost-effective!

Hotel Sunset American does not provide meals.
Therefore, you will have to buy food before check-in or go out to eat, but even if you do not go to the American Village, there are many restaurants in the Miyagi area alone.
There are the famous coffee shops “Coffee Casa,” “Good Dee Coffee,” and “Transit Cafe” just a few blocks from the hotel.
Also just a 2.3-minute walk away is the famous Okinawan soba restaurant “Hamaya” and the hamburger restaurant “Gordie’s”.
Some people say that this area has more gourmet restaurants than American Village. Some people even say that it has more gourmet restaurants than American Village.
Perhaps it is because of the proximity of the base and the fact that many of the people passing through this area are Americans, so the stores here are probably designed to cater to their clientele. Some stores serve delicious açaí bowls and pancakes and are recommended for girls.
Hotel Sunset American” in Miyagi, Chatan-cho, central Okinawa’s main island, is a reasonably priced hotel located 10 seconds from the ocean. It is especially recommended for those who do marine sports. You can also use the washer and dryer for free. Please visit the hotel.
