Toho Tabimari Umi-no-An” is a vacation rental house located on Hamahika Island in Uruma City, central Okinawa Island.
The building looks like a warehouse, but in fact, it is an inn that can only be rented out to one couple per day. It has a staff of 14, 6 beds + 1 sofa bed, and 250 square meters of space, making it spacious.
Speaking of Hamaigashima Island in Uruma City, it is the place to go through “Uminchu Road,” which is one of the best 1.2 in Okinawa. From Naha Airport, it takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes via Okinawa Expressway, Prefectural Road 36, and Uminchu Road.
By bus, first, take Ryukyu Bus No. 120 or other buses to the north exit of the prefectural office, then take Okinawa Bus No. 80 from the Okinawa bus stop located a 1-minute walk away to “JA Yonagusuku-mae”. Then take the “Ike Yakeina Line” located a 1-minute walk away and get off at the “Higa Port Mae” stop. It is a 2-minute walk to the inn.
Although it is located on a remote island that takes a long time even by car, you can enjoy the “typical Okinawan scenery” that many people imagine, such as the view from the “underwater road,” which offers a spectacular view that cannot be seen anywhere else.
The inn is located in the northeastern part of Hamahika Island, and “Amamichu’s Tomb” is just nearby.
The inn is located on the beachfront, but it is also close to a power spot, and it is rare to find such a seaside inn. Parking for three cars is available on the premises, and it is free of charge.
