Approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes by car from Naha Airport. This is a whole-villa rental located in Motobu Town, northern Okinawa Island. While it doesn’t have a pool, the ocean is right nearby, and it’s close to northern Okinawa’s tourist attractions, including the Churaumi Aquarium, making it an ideal base for sightseeing! All rooms offer ocean views, with a distant view of Ie Island’s Tatchuu.
Point 1: Where is The Villas Machi-Toya located?
The Villas Machidooya, located in Motobu Town in northern Okinawa Island, boasts an unbeatable location as a tourist base. It’s conveniently situated just a 7-minute walk from the Churaumi Aquarium, one of Okinawa’s premier attractions, and a mere 5-minute walk to the pristine white sands of Emerald Beach.
Families traveling with children will find it easy to get around and enjoy a comfortable stay. Furthermore, a convenience store (Lawson) is just a 3-minute walk away, making it simple to pick up drinks, snacks, or barbecue supplies. Its convenient location for sightseeing, beach activities, and shopping means you won’t feel inconvenienced even without a car.
The views from the grounds are also special. On clear days, you can see Ie Island’s symbol, “Ie Island Tatchuu,” across the sea, offering a resort-like, open vista. Combining beautiful ocean and greenery with proximity to tourist attractions, this location truly lives up to its name, ‘Machidoriya’ (meaning “long-awaited house”), for visitors.
From Naha Airport, it takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes via the Okinawa Expressway.
By bus, take the Okinawa Airport Shuttle OAS/RSL-RP and get off at “Emerald Beach Mae.” It’s a 4-minute walk from there. Alternatively, take the Yanbaru Express Bus and get off at “Royal View Churaumi Hotel,” then walk for 5 minutes. Due to its proximity to tourist spots, access by bus is surprisingly convenient despite its northern location.
Point 2: Room Introduction at The Villas Machi-Toya
The Villas Machi-Toya are standalone villas, with four identical villas lined up side by side. This layout offers privacy while also being well-suited for groups or multiple households. Each villa boasts a spacious 92 square meters and features a distinctive blend of Japanese and Western-style room layouts.
The Western-style room features two single beds, while the Japanese-style rooms comprise two separate spaces. The Japanese rooms can accommodate up to eight sets of futons, making them ideal for large families or group trips. With a maximum capacity of eight guests, it’s perfect for multi-generational family vacations or trips with friends.
The accommodation rates are also very reasonable, starting from around ¥30,000 even for five people—a major draw. Calculated per person, it’s more affordable than staying in a hotel while offering the luxury of having spacious areas all to yourselves.
The design, where you share the kitchen and living area while relaxing comfortably in your own bedrooms, truly embodies the “stay like you live here” style.
Point 3: ‘The Villas Machi-Toya’ Other Facilities, etc.
The Villas Machi-toya is chosen for its comprehensive amenities essential for extended stays and group travel. The kitchen features a large three-door refrigerator, along with cooking utensils and tableware, creating an ideal environment for guests who prefer to cook their own meals.
You can shop for groceries and enjoy cooking with local ingredients.

Sharing a meal with friends or family while enjoying Okinawa’s evening breeze will make your travel memories even more special.
Another convenient feature is the washer-dryer. You can wash and dry clothes immediately after water activities or beach days, which is especially helpful for extended stays or trips with children. This allows you to keep towels and clothing clean and comfortable throughout your stay.
Another key benefit of renting an entire house is the freedom to relax without worrying about disturbing neighbors. Whether your little ones are playing loudly or you’re chatting late into the night with friends, you can enjoy complete peace of mind in your private space.
This flexibility caters to a wide range of needs, from family vacations and group trips with friends to multi-generational travel.
