About 10 minutes by car from Naha Airport. Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port is located about a 1-minute walk from Naha Tomari Port and about a 5-minute walk from Yui Rail Miebashi Station. It is known especially among repeat guests as a “cosy hotel” because of its reasonable rates, delicious meals, and hot springs.
Point 1: Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port is the best place to stay before visiting the islands!
Naha has several ports, the most eastern of which is Tomari Port.
From Tomari Port, there are ferry services to the outlying islands, including Tokashiki Island, Zamami Island, Aka Island, and other Kerama Islands, Awakuni Island, Kume Island, Tonaki Island, Kita Daito Island, and Minami Daito Island.
Especially recommended for women is Kume Island, which is full of power spots and is an esthetic paradise. There’s even a verde house and facilities to reset your body in the midst of nature.
Also, people who go to Kerama for diving use Tomari Port to see the Kerama Blue.
Hotel Route Inn Naha” is also ideal for natural women who go to Kumejima. Check-out time is as early as 10:00 a.m., but it is okay because the first flight to Kumejima departs at 9:00 a.m! Besides, it is a long trip of 3.5 hours one way, so it is quite a challenge.
Also, the only flights from Kumejima to Naha are at 12:30 and 17:30 in the afternoon (there is another flight in the summer), so it’s hard to make it work with the flights.
In such a case, Hotel Route Inn Naha, which is a minute’s walk from Tomari Port, would be a great help.
The hotel also has a large, if not very large, “radium bath” on the 14th floor, so you can blow off the fatigue of your trip!
The rooms may not be very spacious, but the beds are 140 cm wide, so you can spend a comfortable time. However, you may not be able to expect much in terms of stylishness. It is a normal business hotel, so it may be more suitable for those who do not place much importance on the room, but only stay at the hotel.
Point 2: The free breakfast at Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port is amazing!
Breakfast at Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port is provided free of charge.
Moreover, the breakfast restaurant opens at 6:30 a.m., so you can still make it in time to catch the 9:00 a.m. boat.
Many hotels in Naha are creative in their breakfasts, and Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port has a special feature called “European Bread,” which is imported directly from Europe.
There are five types of breads: mini Kaiser, mini Semmel, mini Chapata, mini Rustico, and Laugenroll, with two or three types being offered daily. They also offer freshly baked hot croissants and danishes, which are very well received!
Although there are only two Okinawan dishes, the variety of Japanese and Western food and fruit buffet is amazing. Best of all, breakfast is included in the reasonable room rate (about 6,300 yen per night for two people) and is practically free.
It is also great that even if you stay for consecutive nights, you can have a different breakfast each day!
Point 3: Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port has a good location!
Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port is not only close to the port to the outlying islands.
It is only a 15-6 minute walk to Kokusai-Dori Avenue, and there are many convenience stores and supermarkets such as Max Valu around, so there is no shortage of souvenirs to buy, and Yui Rail’s Miebashi Station is a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to go to the airport.
Thus, Hotel Route Inn Naha Tomari Port, located just a minute’s walk from Naha Tomari Port, is a business hotel not only close to the port but also within easy access to Kokusai-dori and the airport.
The breakfast is also grueling and varied, but to our delight, it is provided free of charge. It is especially recommended for those who are going to the remote islands, but it may not be a bad idea to reserve it as a “cozy hotel” for your first or last night’s stay!
