Hyakuna Garan Resort & Spa

Like many relics of Okinawan heritage that survived the passage of time, this resort looks a bit like a fortress from the outside, but it is actually an oasis of calm. Cocoon yourself from the outside world and watch the moon rise over the calm waters of the Philippine Sea.

Ine Boathouse Ryokan

At Ine there are surprises and delights in every season. in January the mountains are blanketed by snow, but you are rewarded by the Matsuba Crab, a local speciality. In summer take a seat by the shore line for the fireworks and summer festivals, or see kites and seagulls up close on the sightseeing cruise.
