The Busena Terrace is a long-established resort in Kise, Nago City, northern Okinawa Island. Its main dining venue, beloved for many years, is La Tida. With its open-air terrace seating and the resort’s signature high-quality service, it’s the perfect dining spot for those seeking a special escape from everyday life.
Point 1: Surprisingly convenient access! Enjoy a mini-getaway vibe at Nago Resort
La Tida is about a 1-hour 20-minute drive from Naha Airport. It’s surprisingly accessible, just about 5 minutes by car from the Kyoda IC on the Okinawa Expressway. Located along National Route 58, it’s also perfect for stopping by during a drive.
By bus, take the “Express Bus 111” or Ryukyu Bus 117 from Naha Bus Terminal or “Kencho North Exit” and get off at “Busena Resort Mae.” It’s about a 5-minute walk from the bus stop. If you have a lot of luggage, you can also use the hotel shuttle bus or a taxi from the bus stop.
Point 2: The resort-style breakfast buffet is a hit! Enjoy breathtaking views from the terrace, where you can feel the sea breeze.
The most popular item at La Tida is undoubtedly the breakfast buffet. It opens at 7:00 a.m. and is available not only to hotel guests but also to outside visitors. Sit on the terrace overlooking the sea, and you’ll find yourself facing the emerald green ocean and swaying palm trees. Enjoying breakfast while feeling the refreshing sea breeze is truly an extraordinary experience.
Just keep in mind that birds may try to steal your food on the terrace, and it can get hot in the summer.
The cuisine is a mix of Japanese and Western styles, ranging from Western dishes such as freshly baked croissants, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon to local Okinawan dishes such as Okinawan-style rice porridge, yushi tofu, goya champuru, and juicy (Okinawan rice cooked with vegetables). Salads and fruits are also plentiful, making it a welcome lineup for health-conscious diners.
Particularly popular is the omelet station, where the chef prepares your omelet right before your eyes. You can choose your fillings to create your perfect fluffy omelet. This service is sure to make you feel rich from the moment you wake up.
Point 3: It’s not just buffets! Enjoy lunch buffets and seasonal sweets too.
La Tida offers more than just breakfast—it also features an extensive lunch buffet and à la carte menu. The lunch buffet changes seasonally, showcasing dishes made with abundant Okinawan seasonal ingredients, allowing you to discover new flavors every visit.
During afternoon hours, enjoy seasonal sweets. Particularly popular are the tropical parfaits generously topped with tropical fruits and the tea time experience featuring hotel-made cakes. The drink menu includes herbal teas and awamori cocktails, making it a recommended spot to relax between sightseeing activities.
In the evening, you can enjoy a leisurely dinner while gazing at the illuminated garden. The restaurant offers everything from course meals to share-style dishes, appealing to a wide range of guests, from couples to families.
La Tida, located within Busena Terrace in Kise, Nago City, is a truly healing space where you can savor not only the food but also the scenery and the passage of time at this Nago resort.
It’s the perfect spot not only for buffet lovers but also for those who wish to enjoy a leisurely meal while soaking in the rich atmosphere of this wonderful space. While it feels like a little getaway from Naha, we highly recommend making the trip.
