It is a 7-minute drive from Naha Airport and a 20-minute ride on the Yui Rail, including a 10-minute walk from Miebashi Station. It is a business hotel located in Matsuyama, west of Naha City, with a tavern on the first floor! The hotel also offers a unique accommodation plan with good cost performance!
Point 1: Loco Inn Okinawa’s variety of accommodation plans is amazing!
Roco Inn Okinawa offers reservations through its website as well as through various reservation sites such as Jalan and Rakuten Travel. The price is very reasonable at around 7,000 yen for two people including breakfast.
Reservations made through the official website offer a variety of creative plans, such as an early-bird discount of 45, airline tickets, plans with discount coupons for Famima, airline tickets, and business trip plans.
In particular, we recommend the accommodation plan with airline tickets tied up with an airline company, which is considerably cheaper at 62% off.
The building itself of Loco Inn Okinawa is not new, but the interior has been beautifully renovated and stylish! You will not feel old.
It can accommodate business trips, solo travelers, and families, and you will want to make a reservation well-suited to your needs! It is also recommended for those who take the ferry from Tomarin to the outlying islands!
Point 2: 14 square meters at Loco Inn Okinawa is something big!
Double rooms at Roco Inn Okinawa are only 14 square meters. However, it is a bit different in size compared to 14 square meters in business hotels in the Tokyo metropolitan area and other areas.
There are two ways to calculate the size of a tatami: “Hashira-wari,” which is measured from the center of the pillar, and “Tatami-wari,” which is measured by the internal method, and Okinawa is somewhere in between.
In Okinawa, square tatami called “Ryukyu Tatami” is used, but there seems to be a mixture of 82cm square and 88cm square sizes.
Even in the case of Western-style rooms like hotels, the size of Ryukyu Tatami is calculated, so it seems that Roco Inn Okinawa is probably made with 88-cm square tatami, which makes the 14-square-meter room seem somewhat larger.
Incidentally, the largest tatami size is 191cm x 95.5cm in Kyoma in the Kansai region. The size of tatami in the Kanto region, for example, is 182cm x 91cm, which is quite different!
Point 3: Loco Inn Okinawa’s Japanese-Ryukyu breakfast buffet and izakaya are amazing!
Loco Inn Okinawa offers a semi-buffet breakfast featuring Okinawan cuisine in addition to Japanese and Western dishes. The buffet opens at 6:30 a.m. and offers about 30 different kinds of food, but it has a reputation for being a gut-busting meal.
The vegetables, which incorporate plenty of healthy ingredients, are especially tasty and the seasoning is just right, highly praised by word-of-mouth. The price is also great: 770 yen if you buy a breakfast ticket by the day before.
In addition, the izakaya “Agaideida” on the first floor has not only table seating but also tatami rooms, so you can relax with your children. In other words, the breakfast room becomes an izakaya in the evening and is very comfortable with sunken kotatsu-style seating.
There are not many hotels where you can eat light Okinawan food at a buffet in the morning and taste different kinds of Okinawan food in the evening.
The breakfast is a semi-buffet for 770 yen and includes a wide variety of Japanese and Western Okinawan dishes. And in the evening, an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) with sunken kotatsu-style seating is open for a relaxing and quite comfortable stay.
