11 minutes from Naha Airport by car. By Yui Rail, it takes 19 minutes, including a 5-minute walk from either Miebashi or Makishi Station, and although it is relatively located in the eastern part of Naha, it is still conveniently accessible to everywhere you need to go.
The lounge on the first floor, which is open to all guests, offers a wide range of food from Okinawan food to alcohol, and although there is a time limit, the secret of its popularity is its large selection of food! The art-filled interior of the building is also very exciting!
Point 1: Hotel Artstay Naha, free access to the lounge is awesome!
Hotel Artstay Naha Kokusai-dori is a 5-minute walk from Yui Rail Makishi Station. It is located a little bit secluded from Kokusai-dori.
Guests staying at the hotel can use the free lounge on the first floor next to the check-in desk for free. However, even if you are not a guest, you can use the lounge for 1,000 yen per hour!
Please note that coffee, tea, juice, tea, soup, two alcoholic beverages, stay Andagi, and ice cream are available 24 hours a day, while awamori, Orion barley workers, and highballs are available from 3 pm to 10pm.
Is it safe to offer such a great deal for such inexpensive accommodation? I am so worried about the guests. You will feel such hospitality that you cannot casually call this “high-cosmetics” in one word.
You can take the food back to your room, so you can enjoy it while relaxing in your room.
Point 2: Hotel Artstay Naha – The hotel is filled with art!
As soon as you step into the hotel, you will see the artwork that lives up to its name. The art was created by the children of “Baan Rom Sai,” a living facility for orphans in Thailand, and the hotel is supporting this project.
The front desk, lobby, and all 89 guest rooms are decorated with dynamic and colorful paintings that will make you feel cheerful.
This hotel is doing a great activity because you can enjoy such unique paintings and support them.
In addition to the children’s paintings, there are also rooms for artists who support the art activities. The size of the room is about 16 square meters for a twin room, but if there is space available when you check in, you can have it changed to a larger room for +1,000 yen.
Triple rooms are also available, perfect for family trips!
Point 3: Hotel Artstay Naha, breakfast with an Okinawan flair is a delight!
The ground floor free lounge is a great place to start the morning at full speed!
There is a charge here, but from 6:30 to 10:00 a.m. 700 yen for reservations, and as low as 1,000 yen for same-day purchases! The menu includes taco rice, Okinawan soba, pork egg, Mozuku vinegar, bitter gourd stir-fry, taco rice, and …. Of course, there are also gutty dishes and an endless variety of all-you-can-eat Okinawan food.
Some of them are so unique that you can even make your pork egg.
Soft drinks, awamori, Yushi-Tofu (tofu), and Asa-jiru (seaweed soup) are also served in the morning, so you will be able to enjoy a full Okinawan meal.
