Hot Springs in the Bustling City! Okinawa Naha Sansui Hotel.

Although Okinawa is not famous for hot springs, there are still some if you want to take a dip. The 'Ryukyu Onsen Senagajima Hotel' is well-located, not far from the airport, Naminoue Shrine, and Kokusai Dori. There's also a shuttle bus from the airport, making it perfect for a soak right after landing. Most of the rooms here are quite small, but I personally think that even booking a slightly larger room is not expensive and offers good value for money. This time I booked a room with a private bath, which might be a bit awkward facing the city view, but once you sit down, you can still see a bit of the sea. You have to go to the large public bath for the hot spring, which is colorless and odorless, but it seems to have a quite noticeable effect on relieving fatigue! The buffet breakfast here is a must! The restaurant is not big, but the variety of food and the care in presentation are truly astonishing. They even cultivate Okinawa's specialty sea grapes with water and oxygen, which is so fresh and impressive. There's also made-to-order Wagyu beef sushi, bitter melon juice, tempura, alcoholic beverages - it's so luxurious! The pork tofu soup is also highly recommended. One thing to note is that the hotel does not have a free parking lot, and the traffic nearby is a bit complicated, so it's best to go out in groups at night. Other than that, it's really suitable to start or end your Okinawa trip with a hot spring here!
