An hour and a half from Naha Airport takes you to the northern part of the main island of Okinawa called “Yanbaru. It is said that not many repeaters of Okinawa or even locals such as Naha go out to Yanbaru, but in fact, there are many attractive hotels in Yanbaru. Here we introduce one of them.
Point 1: The unusual Asian appearance of “Ada Garden Hotel Okinawa” is noteworthy!
Ada Garden Hotel” is located in the forest of Yanbaru in northern Okinawa. Have you noticed its somewhat Asian appearance?
In fact, this hotel was built about 20 years ago, in the year 2,000, as a sign of friendship with Vietnam in Southeast Asia, by procuring materials all the way from the local people.
That’s why the exterior of the hotel is so different from other resort hotels in Okinawa!
But the interior is neither particularly tropical nor Okinawan in style, but rather basic resort hotel style, with a relaxed feeling. The tasteful furniture and choice of linens, such as waffle fabric sheets, somehow give the impression of an exotic, rather than domestic, taste.
In fact, when I was in the room, I forgot for a moment that I was staying in Okinawa and felt like I was staying at a hotel in the vicinity of Angkor Wat!
Point 2: Wake up to the call of the Okinawa rail at “Ada Garden Hotel Okinawa” built in the midst of nature!
Ada Garden Hotel is located in the forest of Yanbaru National Park in northern Okinawa. It is usually located in a very quiet environment.
The Yanbaru rail is one of the most famous creatures in Yanbaru, and you may be awakened in the morning by the call of the rail, “ke, ke, ke, ke.
The area around the hotel is a popular walking course, and you may even see cute Okinawa rail as you stroll along.
At night, the area is pitch black and there are no street lights, so you can see the stars beautifully.
This hotel is ideal for those who want to feel nature rather than a resort in Okinawa.
Point 3: The food at “Ada Garden Hotel Okinawa” is delicious!
Since Ada Garden Hotel Okinawa is located in the forest of the Yanbaru National Park, there are no restaurants or even convenience stores in the area.
Therefore, many people who did not sign up for the half-board plan have expressed regret. However, there are snacks and instant vending machines in the hotel, so it seems that you will not be troubled by hunger.
But if you go to the trouble, we recommend eating at the restaurant. Breakfast, despite its exotic appearance, is a set menu of Japanese dishes. For dinner, the steaks and hamburgers are tender and delicious, and the seafood-based Italian dishes are also excellent.
Although it is a set menu and not a buffet, the portions are quite large.
Thus, “Ada Garden Hotel Okinawa,” built in the Yanbaru Forest, is an exotic and gourmet hotel in Okinawa where you can see the wild Yanbaru queens more than any other hotel in Okinawa.
If you are a nature lover, why don’t you go and have a look?
