Approximately 1 hour and 36 minutes by car from Naha Airport. There is a beautiful vacation rental in Nakijin that is the ultimate Instagram-worthy destination. A world of all-white, devoid of any unnecessary things. What exactly is this vacation rental named “EMIL NAKIJIN,” which even has an open-air bath and private pool?
Point 1: How to stay? What’s the gist of EMIL NAKIJIN?
If you only hear the name “EMIL NAKIJIN,” you may not even know what it means. The name “NAKIJIN” and the place name “NAKIJIN” tell you that it is located in Okinawa, but the name “EMIL NAKIJIN” is a five-room vacation rental complex created by EMIL, a Japan and building enthusiast.
EMIL NAKIJIN is a five-room vacation rental property created by EMIL, a lover of Japan and buildings.
Because of the beauty of the building, it has been featured in architecture magazines and high grade fashion magazines, and many people have come to know about this vacation rental through these magazines.
Vacation rentals are often associated with the image that the owner does not reside in the house and that you have to open the password sent to you by e-mail to enter the house, but here at EMIL NAKIJIN, the owner is there and explains the rooms and the neighborhood with a friendly smile, so you can rest assured that you are in good hands.
The owner’s personality is also a topic of conversation, as there are many repeat guests who, once they come here, never forget it.
So the important thing is how to stay here. You can book directly or through lodging reservation sites such as Expedia, Hotels.com, Rakuten, and Yahoo!
Also, this accommodation does not have a restaurant and is expensive at over 44,000 yen without meals, but it is worth staying at least once.
Point 2: What is the ultimate minimalist beauty of “EMIL NAKIJIN”?
Was there ever such a beautiful hotel?
First of all, the exterior is a long horizontal rectangle with a ratio of about 1:9 when viewed from the side.
At night, the lower part of the building and the entrance part become a long and thin luminous body.
The hotel is surrounded by a lush forest and the sea in the distance.
The contrast between the white of the building and the blue of the sea and sky is very beautiful.
Entering the hotel from the entrance, where only the sign “EMIL NAKIJIN” is displayed, you will find yourself in a world of all-white.
The rooms, of which there are only five, are also all white, and the closets and refrigerators are also made without handles.
For a moment, you may feel confused, but after a while, you will get used to the fact that you can open the door by pressing the button. The process of getting used to it is also enjoyable.
The sofas, TVs, and other household appliances are embedded as inconspicuously as possible, and cords and other items that give the impression of daily life are embedded in the walls and under the floor.
However, we are very happy with the concern that they are readily available when needed.
The sofa as well as the bed fabrics are all white, using selected materials.
There are no partitions or steps between sinks or shower stalls, and the rain shower falls from the ceiling.
The rain shower falls from the ceiling, and when the large glass window is fully opened, you can feel the blue sea and sky, giving you a sense of openness as if you were outside.
It is the ultimate beautiful hotel that pursues minimalist formative beauty.
Point 3: The ultimate stylish amenity of EMIL NAKIJIN!
So what about the amenities at EMIL NAKIJIN?
First of all, the bath amenities are a natural brand called FRAMA from Copenhagen. The simple bottles are very beautiful.
In the refrigerator, we are also happy to find a small whiskey, TWG tea, almond milk, and sparkling juice, an extraordinary and not-so-natural choice.
Just as a white sofa, washbasin, or even a single waterfall is not the norm, the unexpected amenities are a feast for the eyes and mind, as are the many items selected from leading design countries such as Denmark and Germany.
