About an hour drive from Naha Airport. Located in Nakama, north of Onna Village, this ryokan is a rarity in Okinawa. It is a high-class ryokan with a hot spring bath, with rooms starting at 44 square meters. The rooms are high-class and have a hot spring bath. Outside the window is the azure sea! Recommended for those who want to experience a different kind of Okinawa.
Point 1: What are the rooms like at “Umi no Ryotei Okinawan Nagamaso”?
Umi no Ryotei Okinawa Nakama-so” has 25 rooms in total. All rooms have a dynamic ocean view, and are a perfect match of Japanese and Western styles, with wood grain and white tones, and are either simple Japanese-style or Western-style rooms.
The interior design of the rooms, except for Okinawan tatami mats, dares not to show Okinawan colors, which is rather pleasing.
The “Original Rooms,” which are the most numerous with 21 rooms, are 44 m2, including half board, and all rooms have a half-open-air bath!
This is especially recommended for those who don’t want to be in the hustle and bustle of a big hotel, but prefer the service of a ryokan and want to relax.
Other rooms available are the 68㎡ “Modern Room” and the 95㎡ “Suite Room” (both Japanese/Western style).
Point 2: What about meals at “Umi no Ryotei Okinawa Nakama-so”?
Umi no Ryotei Okinawan Nagama-so” is a ryokan, so two meals a night is the basic meal plan.
Dinner and breakfast are served at the “Umi no Bo” restaurant.
Breakfast is not a buffet, but a three-tiered Japanese set meal.
It is a visually beautiful breakfast with Temari Sushi, Tempura, Chawanmushi, local seafood, and desserts.
For dinner, guests can choose from sushi, tempura, steak, or shabu-shabu (both 11,000 yen) or “Ai Kaiseki” (11,000 yen), “Beni Kaiseki” (16,500 yen) with sashimi, a small bowl of cooked fish, and boiled fish, or “Ryuri Kaiseki” (22,000 yen) with additional items such as crab, allowing guests to enjoy seafood and local beef. You can also enjoy seafood and local beef.
Again, no Okinawan cuisine is served, but the inn may be aimed at repeat guests who are tired of eating Okinawan cuisine.
Point 3: What are the baths like at “Umi no Ryotei Okinawan Nagamaso”?
Umi no Ryotei Okinawan Nagamasou” boasts not only guest rooms with a dynamic view of the ocean, and gourmet cuisine that will satisfy even the most discerning palate, but also a “large bath” separate from the guest room semi-open-air baths.
The large public baths, which are separate from the half-open-air baths in the guest rooms, are also highly recommended.
Many bathhouses in Japan overlook the ocean, but none offer such a beautiful view of the ocean.
As you enter the bathtub, the emerald green ocean spreads out before your eyes, and although there is a large glass door, it is like an “infinity bath.
In addition, fruity popsicles (free of charge) are available after bathing.
For a fee, full-body, aroma, and foot massages are also available after the bath. (40 min., 6,000 yen~, in-room treatment)
In Okinawa, where most hotels are of the Western-style room type, it is unusual to find a ryokan, but it is recommended for those who want to relax because of the beautiful scenery, or for the elderly or those with babies.
