It is a 10-minute drive from Naha Airport, and a 15-minute ride including the Yui Rail and a 2-minute walk. Conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Kokusai-dori Avenue, Sun Palace Kyuyokan is a long-established hotel established in 1948. It is a hotel that stands out for its retro atmosphere in a prime location in Naha City, but it has been properly renovated and offers fun and innovative services such as Kariyushi wear rentals and “Uchina breakfast” prepared by an aunt.
Point 1: The wide variety of room types at “Hotel Sun Palace Kyuyokan” is amazing!
Hotel Sun Palace KYUYOKAN” offers seven different room types, ranging from single to twin, Japanese/Western style to premium type.
Is there also a single room because of the location of Naha and the fact that some people are there for business purposes? This is a very helpful existence for those who travel alone but do not have a single room set up and are forced to use a twin room for their Okinawa trip.
Even the twin rooms, which are probably the main type of guests, are available in three types: small, standard, and moderate.
Single rooms are also spacious, at 17 square meters, but a bit larger than a typical single. The rooms have been beautifully renovated, and great care has been taken in the interior design, with an L-shaped desk by the woody window, fabric use reminiscent of Ryukyu Kasuri, and Ryukyu glass in all rooms.
We recommend the premium type twin room, which incorporates LOHAS style and Okinawan culture: a 45m2 room with a balcony and a large window overlooking the Yui Rail for about 15,000 yen per person including breakfast.
Other unique accommodation plans are also available, such as those that include snacks and a telework plan that allows you to use the newly built business lounge, so why don’t you check them out?
Point 2: Kariyushi wear rentals at “Hotel Sun Palace Kyuyokan” are amazing!
Few hotels in Okinawa now offer “yukata” as loungewear, and most of them offer loungewear type loungewear.
Sun Palace Kikuyokan rents “Kariyushi wear,” which can be rented 24 hours a day. This is a service unique to Sun Palace Kyuyokan, isn’t it?
If you wear this Kariyushi wear and take a picture with the Shi-sa at the entrance, you will definitely feel like you are in Okinawa!
Kariyushi wear is also widely worn in public, as it is allowed to be worn at business events and weddings in Okinawa.
If you wear Kariyushi wear during your stay, you will already feel like an Okinawan.
Point 3: The Uchina breakfast at “Hotel Sun Palace Kyuyokan” is amazing!
For 2,000 yen, Sun Palace Kyuyokan offers breakfast from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m., which consists mainly of Uchina cuisine (Okinawan cuisine). While many hotels offer a Japanese/Western buffet breakfast with only a few Uchina dishes, Sun Palace Kyuyokan offers mainly Uchina cuisine!
Although the buffet has now been replaced by a set menu, all dishes can be refilled freely, which is a generous gesture!
Many of the cooks are Okinawan amma (mothers), and you can enjoy a hearty breakfast of Okinawan home-style dishes made with local meat and vegetables purchased that day.
