❤️Why you have to stay here!
This hotel only opened in Okinawa in 2020, so everything still feels brand new. It’s just a 3-minute walk from Tsubogawa Station, and the must-visit Kokusai Dori is only a 15-minute walk away—seriously convenient! (A huge win for lazy travelers like us :))
Open the window and you’ll see the harbor—a quiet pocket in the middle of the city. Besides the bathroom, each room has a small kitchenette and a microwave, so you can cut fruit or fix a late-night snack. It’s a really thoughtful layout, and no more fighting over the bathroom! It’s very family-friendly too, with free baby equipment rental and kids’ amenities so guests traveling with infants feel right at home. All in all, great value for money.

It’s about a 10-minute walk to American Village, and there’s free parking, which is great news if you’re on a self-drive trip—though spaces are limited and allocated first come, first served.

❤️ WHY you have to stay here!
The hotel offers free parking for self-drive travelers (fantastic!), and kids under 18 can share their parents’ room with no extra bed charge (a deal you rarely see!). Cribs, strollers, bottle sterilizers, diapers and toddler toilet seats are all free to borrow, so parents no longer have to travel loaded down with bags. If you book an ocean-view room, Sunset Beach is right outside your window – imagine waking up to sunlight spilling across the sand; it’s almost too beautiful.
And of course, don’t miss the hotel’s signature tenth-floor observation bath: huge windows look straight out over the ocean, and soaking in the tub melts away all your tension. Best of all, it’s completely free! This one is a personal favorite of ours. One more tip: their breakfast is said to be good enough to get even late risers out of bed.

❤️ WHY you have to stay here!
The hotel has its own Tiger Beach – just open the window and a wide stretch of ocean is right there. The rooms are tastefully furnished too, so it really feels like a proper vacation. Afternoons are perfect for strolling along the sand in the breeze, and there are lifeguards on the beach, so it feels pretty safe. The resort is huge, with about four restaurants to choose from, ideal if you’d rather just relax on-site – though the great food nearby is worth venturing out for. There’s also a swimming pool and a kids’ water play area, and children often refuse to leave. Indoors there’s a ball pit and a slide, perfect for parents who want a short break. Overall the hotel is new, well equipped, with gorgeous ocean views and a beach made for photos. Room rates lean expensive, but it’s absolutely worth it!

WBF ART STAY is a hugely recommended hotel online. Not only is it easy to reach – Kokusai Street and Don Quijote are a one-minute walk away – the staff also includes Chinese speakers, which is a real relief. The walls inside display children’s art, imagination and creations alongside works by photographers active in Japan and abroad, giving the place a warm, approachable feel. The lounge serves tea, coffee and miso soup (so cool!), plus there’s a kids’ building-block area, and you can borrow baby body wash and a stroller for free. The rooms are on the small and older side, but for this price and with such thoughtful service it’s already a real bargain.
