Detailed review & photos “Rinken’s Hotel”

The hotel is a part of the American Village. It is an Okinawan building with a white wall and red tiled roof.

The road side is the entrance to the live house and the restaurant.

The big sign for the Rinken band has a picture of a woman which stood out.

Live house entrance.

If you walk past the live house, there is a parking lot and an entrance to the hotel. It was a clean white building.

The lobby was clean.

I could see the beachside.

You will sit at a table across the front desk and tea will be served, making you feel relaxed during check-in. Books related to Okinawa and Rinken bands were placed in the lobby and you can take them freely.

The room is stylish and luxurious. It is big and the interior is brown based on white, the bedside was blue and the overall atmosphere was calm, but the sofas and cushions with bright colors were gorgeous creating a tropical feeling.

There was a light switch and an outlet by the bed.

A TV and dehumidifier across the bed.

A cabinet with a fridge.

The hotel is new, so it was clean.

The window was big and had a nice view.

The sunset was very beautiful.

Because I was staying in a room on the first floor, I was able to go out to the beach directly from the room through the sea side door. The door is a made of glass and a wooden double that can’t be seen from the outside. It can be locked from the outside as well, so it is very secure.

There is also a door that separates the room from the beach. There was a water supply for washing feet outside and it was very convenient. I had no stress going to the beach.

The bathroom was big and clean, with a luxurious interior. There was enough room to wash my body.

There was plenty of space to stretch my legs.

Above the bathtub were towels which were soft and nice on my skin.

There were three types of showers: the ceiling type, the normal type, and the type in which three nozzles rotate to produce hot water. Regardless of which is used, the water pressure is fine and can be adjusted to strong or weak. The temperature could be adjusted without any problems. The body shower was comfortable with moderate stimulation when the water pressure was increased.

The bathroom was equipped with Shiseido shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. The shampoo, conditioner, and body soap each had a nice and subtle smell.

POLA hand, facial and shaving soap was prepared in the bathroom.

The amenity was complete with toothbrush sets, cotton swab sets, hair brushes, razors, and body towels for each person.

A toilet next to the bathroom.

The toilet had a Washlet function.

Th closet was right by the entrance and it was not big, but very tall.

Hangers were prepared.

I was able to hang swim-suites on the towel rack.

The dafe was in a cabinet that is out of sight.

The cafe corner is in this cabinet.

Inside the cabinet.

Water bottles prepared for the number of people staying.

There was an electric kettle, tea packs, instant coffee, sugar and cream powder prepared for each person.

There was nothing in the fridge.

We was able to eat and drink while watching a live show at the live house. The menu was not as many as a restaurant, but Okinawan cuisine was served. At check-in, I received a free ticket for a live house with one drink included.

The day I went there was a stage of four girls called “Tink Tink,” and the songs were Ryukyu music, folk songs and dances, and talks about the introduction of Okinawan instruments.

I had breakfast here.

The table faces the sea side, and it has a bright and open atmosphere.

View from the window.

You can only choose the main dish and a drink.

It was very filling.

There were two coin laundries in the hotel. It was a small space, but the room looked new and clean with both a washing machine and a dryer.

There was a recording studio on the upper floor of the live house.

It was said that Rinken Band would use it and for now it does not seem to be open to the general public.

There are not many rooms in the hotel, but there seemed to be many couples. The age range varies, with both young and elderly people. I didn’t see any foreigners.
