Hostels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

This is a tough one because the staff was very kind. But unfortunately for me the amenities were a let down. The head of the bed is on the other side of the kitchen wall, so constant banging and music. The curtains have big openings on top so not the best for privacy. Light is automated and will blind you at 7am. The AC is loud and prevents from sleeping. Inside the capsule, not even a shelf to put glasses.

They send you instead for self-check in which is fine. But when you face issues with your stay then there’s no one you can directly talk to, someone from the dorm took the bed fhat was assigned to me by mistake so I just took another bed instead but the bedsheets had hair on them. I think they need to check their washing machine because the sheets seemed clean and washed so maybe the machine just needs maintenance. It’s good for budget stays with free washing machine to use, kitchen and water dispenser.

The hotel is located upstairs in a shopping street, lively yet not secluded. It's about a 10-minute walk (approximately 850 meters) from Makishi Monorail Station, allowing direct access to Kokusai Street and the bustling crowds of the shopping street, making the journey feel effortless. The hotel is mostly frequented by Japanese and international tourists from Tokyo, with a significant number of ********* guests. The lounge is predominantly in English, with Japanese people speaking Japanese. Since I only speak ********* Mandarin, I occasionally encounter ********* or Japanese people who speak Mandarin, and we can chat for a few minutes. There are many beds, but separate showers and toilets for men and women – definitely not enough. It's best to avoid peak hours, thankfully I was out shopping until 9 or 10 pm before returning. Saturdays are particularly crowded, making it even more difficult to find accommodation; you have to find your own way to manage. Overall, it's manageable, but the only problem is getting an upset stomach. The public restroom is about a four-minute walk away. I would definitely stay here again.

The room felt really good overall! The small yellow bedside light was cozy, but making your own sheets was a bit inconvenient. The staff were very nice 👍 And there was a large tatami living room and a shared kitchen—everything you could need! And it was super affordable 🫶

第一次入住廚房旅社，有點忐忑，但入住後，完全打破了我對青年旅舍的認知！每天都會更換進房間的密碼！ 這裏的管理非常細緻，從冰箱的男女分開存放，到入住時進入房間區域的保持安靜規則介紹，一切都讓整個入住很舒適！ 環境空間很大，浴室，廁所很乾凈！設施很齊全，提供一次性拖鞋，洗浴用品，和護膚品。 樓下就是餐廳，咖吧加休息區域，早餐很好吃，也可以自己帶物品在這裏吃，提供一次性筷子，杯子，微波爐等！ 入住的客人都非常有素質，房間裏很安靜！ 每天服務員都會清掃房間，這裏也提倡自助服務，入住和離店需要自己將床鋪的被褥整理好或放置在規定的桶內！ 出門兩分鐘就是縣廳站，出行去哪裡都很方便！ 退房後，行李可以寄存，超級暖心！一切都那麼舒適，下次還會入住！ 有一位會説中文的小夥，不錯，基本溝通無障礙！

Nice hostel with a relaxed vibe. Inviting common areas. Rooms are functional, and meet all your basic needs. Proximity to the ferry to Zamami makes it perfect for a good night's sleep before heading to the islands in the morning.

This hostel makes me feel that if I travel alone in the future, I should stay in the youth hostel. The environment is very good, the taste is fragrant, the infrastructure is complete, and the breakfast is very delicious!!! I will still choose this youth hostel next time I come to Okinawa. It‘s very good.

The room is small but very distinctive! The surrounding environment is also very beautiful. Very close to the beach. It is easy to go to see the sunrise!

It was nice that it was not too far from the bus stop. Once you get there, the host is there and speaks English and Japanese. He is very kind. His voice tone makes you think he would do well on a podcast. The facilities were also very clean. I walked 30 kilometers a day by myself, but when I came back to the accommodation, it was so healing. I would like to use it again next time I go nearby.

If you check in late (after 9pm) They don’t let you stay even already paid in advance. So, I did. We have to find another hotel instead. But staff was nice to suggest another hotel.
