Facilities in the hotel

IMG_9669 copy

The hotel has an outdoor infinity pool for guests only and is open from June to October. From the pool, you can see the unique scenery of Senagajima, the runway for planes at Naha Airport which opened in March 2020.

IMG_9637 copy

The Ryukyu Onsen “Ryujin no Yu” is located on the 1st floor and guests can use it for free. The natural hot spring that springs 1,000 meters underground in Senaga Island is “sodium chloride-strong salt spring,” which improves blood circulation, loosens muscles and has a moisturizing and cooling effect.

0ef50ccbbfcbf1c732fd3b37112efdec copy

This is the “Standing hot spring outdoor bath.” It is an open air bath that is 120 cm deep, so you can stand in the bath. Round stones are laid out on the bottom to massage your feet.

There are also sleeping hot springs and saunas, and you can enjoy a wonderful view of the plane landing on the runway at Naha Airport, the ocean and the Kerama Islands in the distance.

Staff and Guests

The staff responded well and were always standing at the front desk.

There were many families in their 30s and 40s with small children. I also saw elderly people, so there is a wide range of guests.

Summary

I had a nice stay at “Ryukyu Onsen Senagajima Hotel.” There are not many hotels with natural hot springs in Okinawa, and I think it’s rare that there are guest rooms with open air baths. It was a pity that I couldn’t enjoy the scenery because of the bad weather. If the weather is nice, you can soak in the open air bath while enjoying the view of the ocean and planes flying by. Next time I would like to stay on a sunny day.
