Hotels near Okinawa-shi Gallery of Postwar Culture and History in Okinawa

The name itself ”Music Koza” was first what attracted my daughter to recommend and suggest it. As a 1st time visitor to Okinawa, we did not do much research and chose a hotel in the ”middle” of the island. We thought being in the middle, we can move to any sigh-seeing spots conveniently =) Its an advantage that there's an express bus that stops quite near the hotel...but its still almost a distance to the hotel...and up a slope! Its less than a km straight but you really have to struggle if you have heavy luggages. First to climb up a flight of steps from the bus stop and then walking up the slope. As a location, it's near bus stops to major sites and have restaurants and convenience stores like 7-11, Family Mart within walking distance. The only advantage is it's nearer to the American Village, as compared to Naha town but that's about it. The hotel is self check in, no one will be at the lobby to welcome you or to wave you good bye. all instructions sent to you by email and its quite easy to follow as there were english instructions. We stayed 3 nights and 6 towels were given in the room...as shared above, you can call no one during your stay. But the room is spacious by Tokyo, Japan standard and the in room wall-mounted TV was H-U-G-E!....biggest I have seen in any of my travels. Its a luxury...only if you stay in the room for Netflix whole day...else its just a white elephant. (see photo) We tried to cancel and asked for partial refund after we realised we are better off in the city, but unfortunately we could not. So, stay here IF you have any business or interests nearby, else you are better off with a hotel in Naha city.

It was a new hotel, so it was very clean and nice. The location was also good as it was close to American Village and Aeon Mall Rycom. Breakfast didn't have a lot of variety, but it was tasty enough. Overall, it was a good value hotel.

The Crown Hotel is an Excellent option for lodging. It is a convenient commute by car to Kadena Air Base and Camp Foster. The Japanese Inn is clean, the front desk staff is friendly and capable, and the rooms are spacious. Parking is free and convenient. The WiFi worked well, and the quiet atmosphere was conducive to rest and work. Dishes prepared and served at the restaurant were tasty but straightforward and delivered quickly. The restaurant offered various selections, but the best bets were the Okinawan and Japanese specialties such as the soba. The local draft Orion beer paired well with the local cuisine and was served cold and delicious.

It is really wel laid out and duped clean. Modern. Upscale feel. It’s a bottom wing of a hotel. Bunk beds are ultra spacious and self contained (see photos) for your belongings. Privacy curtain and super well built and strong. Pillows are of the seed variety that’s popular in Japan and likely for hypoallergenic safety reasons. I’m not a fan. Many are though. Showers blast water wonderfully. Kitchen has all you need. Lobby area is highly functional. Loved the look and feel of this hostel for a city hostel.

As I booked fairly early, I got an excellent deal. It was well worth it. The location wasn't too difficult to find, especially if you do your homework on Google Map. The staff, as expected, was very friendly and helpful. I didn't find one who spoke English but they still tried their best to communicate. There was plenty of parking on the lower floors of the hotel with elevator access to the other floors. The size of the room was good and bigger than the average Japanese hotel rooms. The major disappointment was the setups in the room. There was no closet, dresser or even hooks on the wall for clothing. The toilet and the bath area were separated as normal for many Japanese hotels. However, they were separated far enough and that the toilet area has no soap or even place to put soap that made it a little inconvenient. We were given only one keycard at first, which was not good but accepted. But what we didn't realize was that even the mini-frig in the room was connected to this power grid. That's something I have never seen in any of the hotels I stayed in before. In other words, when we leave the room and took the keycard with us, everything we put in the mini-frig became warm. The free breakfast was good but the restaurant was toward the small size. It doesn't have to be full to get quite crowded with limited space to move about. Overall, it was okay.

I stayed at the Okinawa gymnasium in the basket of Ryukyu golden kings. I decided to stay here because I was scheduled to drink at night on the gate street of Koza. The location was good and the room was beautiful, so I was able to spend comfortably.

I happened to have a cheap plan so I stayed there. It's a long-established hotel, so I felt its presence. I was worried until I went because the hotel situation is quite old, but it is not so bad from the cospa and location. As an experience, I think it's a good idea to stay at least once.

Nice view, great customer service and other services including rental car, shuttle bus between airport and the hotel, rides between its parking lots and the hotel , and 12pm check out time. There was mold on the bathroom wall, moss on pool side wall and roof of pool room looked old with black stains . I heard people talking on the hallway very clearly from a room so I was careful being quiet walking with my kids on the hallway. 
The elevator closes quickly and no motion detect sensor so had to be careful. When my kids got off from the elevator before me, the door closed when I tried to get off. I pressed the “open” button but it didn’t work and took me to another floor level…fortunately, my kids were still waiting for me when I went back to them.
There wasn’t much Okinawan dish in the Buffet except breakfast. Lunch and Dinner were same menus. Driving street by the hotel isn’t easy for beginner drivers….streets are narrow and many blinds spot. Be careful driving around the neighbourhood. However, customers service was outstanding, and it was all good experience with the reasonable price. In addition, it was hard to get taxis in rural areas in Okinawa. It seems they have cut off numbers of taxis since Covid has happened. Staffs by the front door can help for calling taxes if you are riding from hotel.

The breakfast at this hotel is absolutely incredible, and the view of the sea is truly awe-inspiring. Considering the reasonable price, it is definitely worth it.

It was cheap in Okinawa until now, but I hesitated to stay in many old hotels, but this is new and convenient location. Because it is close to the main street, the taxi is picked up immediately, and there are many places to eat, and 3 minutes walk to the supermarket. I think it is very unique to choose your favorite pillows with a microwave oven and a kind of pillow 々 on the side of the elevator on each floor. The hotel itself is small, more for business than for family and sightseeing purposes, and free bread and coffee are provided in the morning. The cleaning was well done to the corner 々, and the friendly staff were pleasant with a smile and a smile every time they met. Amenities that can be received every day for women are full of good value for money, and only happy things for tired bodies.
