ASBO is definitely a good hotel that friends who like to soak in hot springs should not miss. The hot spring area is spacious and bright with a large space (the spring water is excavated from 1,500 feet deep in the sea). There are indoor pools (large floor-to-ceiling windows can be opened, so it won't be stuffy at all) and semi-open outdoor pools. Cold water pool, hot water pool, SPA oven. Soaking for a whole day is not boring. The room is spacious and the sea view is unbeatable. The bidet will spoil you and the bathtub is divided into two rooms. There is a capsule coffee machine in the room, and delicious coffee is available every day. Every service staff is kind, polite, warm and considerate. Free bicycles are available. An excellent long stay worth coming again and again. Good accommodation

#Okinawa Sakura The cherry blossoms in Wujia Children's Park are in full bloom. The trees are full of cherry blossoms like clouds and rosy clouds. The pink petals fall gently in the breeze, as if you have entered a dreamy sea of ​​flowers. Visitors took out their cameras to take pictures, laughter and cheers echoed in the air, filling the entire park with the breath of spring. 📸 In addition to the beautiful cherry blossoms, Yaka Children's Park also has a variety of children's play facilities. Playground facilities such as slides, swings and climbing frames attract many children to play here. Watching the children having fun in the playground with happy smiles on their faces makes me feel the carefree childhood. 🎈

Kin Town, the northernmost of the Ryukyu Hachisha Shrines [Kingu Shrine (Kannonji Temple)] Kingu Shrine, unlike the other Ryukyu Hachisha Shrines, does not have a shrine building, but is enshrined as Kin Gongen in a limestone cave within the grounds of Kin Kannonji Temple. There are no lights inside the limestone cave, so it is dim even during the day and you need to be careful where you step. I hesitated at first, but I used the light from my smartphone to descend the steep stairs. When you enter the limestone cave, you can be sensitive to the sounds, smells, and air flow inside the cave in the silence. There is no goshuin stamp for Kingu Shrine, but you can get one at Kannonji Temple. It is not well known, but it is a spot where you can experience the limestone cave in its natural state. If you are interested, please stop by during your trip. [Ryukyu Hachisha Kingu (Kannonji)] Address: 222 Kin, Kin-cho, Kunigami-gun, Okinawa Parking: Available #0yentravelFebruary2025 #domestictravel #Okinawa #Okinawatrip #Okinawatourism #RyukyuHachisha #limestonecave #powerspot

⸜ 🍴⸝King Tacos King Tacos is known by everyone in Okinawa. It's called Kintaco for short🌮 It's full of vegetables, cheese, and minced meat, so it's very filling.ᐟ.ᐟ It's filling, has good value for money, and is very satisfying♡♡ I've brought many friends here and they're all very satisfied. The tacos and taco rice are the best.ᐟ.ᐟ The only drawbacks are that it's hard to park and the portions are too big, so it's hard to eat. The slightly spicy taco sauce is also super delicious🌶 📍1-26-7 Kiyuna, Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture #0 yen trip January 2025

KING TACOS is a very popular taco shop in Naha city🌮 This is the birthplace of taco rice and is extremely popular with locals and tourists‼️ It's filled with overflowing ingredients and the taste is, needless to say, exquisite. The price is also reasonable and you can eat it casually. There are many taco shops in Naha city, but this shop is particularly popular and there was a line. It's so delicious that you'll want to order more, so if you're sightseeing in Naha city, be sure to visit🌮 📍Address: 4244-4 Kin, Kin Town, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 904-1201, King Tacos Kin Main Store 💰Price per person: 400-1000 yen #Domestic Travel Record

Kin Town is located in the northern part of Okinawa's main island. Kin Town, the birthplace of taco rice, is where you'll find King Tacos' main store! The store changed its name from Parlor Misato to King Tacos and has expanded throughout the prefecture. The specialty is taco rice that is so big it doesn't fit in a lunch box! The portions are so voluminous that a woman could eat two meals there...😓 For that reason, they offer it as a takeaway so that you can eat in and take it home (*^^*) They tried serving Mexican tacos with rice instead of tortillas, and it was a big hit! This is today's taco rice. There is a Coca-Cola vending machine in the store, so you can eat it while drinking a Coke 🫣 You can choose between spicy and non-spicy hot sauce! It's not spicy because it's ketchup, so even children can eat it with sauce✨ It satisfies the desire of those who don't like spicy food but want to eat it with sauce😍 If you come to Okinawa, please try the taco rice at King Tacos Main Store🌴 ⚠️Things to be careful of when ordering⚠️ If you want to eat regular taco rice with taco meat, vegetables and cheese, please order ▷▶Vegetable cheese taco rice! There is a photo on the ticket machine, but if you select taco rice, it only comes with rice and taco meat🌮 📍: King Tacos Kin Main Store 🚗: About 1.5 hours from Naha Airport 🅿️: Available (free) ※There is no parking lot near the store. There is a parking lot within a 5-minute walk, so please refrain from parking on the street. #FritabiWinter #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #TacoRice #KingTacos

#Okinawa Attractions The Hihide Cave in Okinawa is a natural wonder that amazed me! 🌌 When I walked into the cave, the first thing I felt was the cool air and mysterious atmosphere. The stalactites and stalagmites in the cave are of various shapes and flicker with faint light, as if you have entered a fairyland. Every step I took made me marvel at the wonders of nature, and the scenery here made me feel an indescribable tranquility. ✨#natural wonders In addition, the mysterious legends in the cave sparked a strong interest in Okinawa culture in me. This is a place that combines nature and history, which makes people fascinated. 📖 #CulturalExploration #OkinawaHistory This adventure not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful natural scenery, but also gave me a deeper understanding of Okinawa's culture. I hope to come here again in the future and continue to explore more beauty and mystery! 🌺 #SpiritualJourney #OkinawaAdventure

A super hidden gem! It's not crowded, there are restrooms, and light snacks available. Plus, you can take as many photos and videos as you want with this breathtaking view... Since there are few people, we were able to relax and enjoy the scenery before heading to Nakijin! The Satsuma chips, which seem to be exclusive to this service area, were delicious! And of course, we also had Blue Seal ice cream. 💞Recommended because: It's not crowded, and you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. 📍Location: 1261 Igei, Kin Town, Kunigami District, Okinawa 904-1202

Speaking of Okinawa, we went to King Tacos Kin Town Main Branch❣️ There was a line, but it was worth it!! I got takeout, but it was delicious even when cold! 📍Address: 4244-4 Kin Town, Kin Town, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 10:30-21:00 #0 yen trip #Okinawa trip #Naha gourmet #King Tacos

ASBO STAY HOTEL, a stylish hotel in Kin Town The modern interior is like an overseas hotel, giving it a stylish and sophisticated atmosphere. The room I stayed in had bunk beds and could accommodate four people, two on the top and two on the bottom. The large bath, where you can enjoy "natural hot springs and saunas," which are rare in Okinawa, is also attractive! The restaurant in the hotel serves dishes made with plenty of Okinawan ingredients. The course menu is packed with the chef's attention to detail and is truly delicious. The crepes fleurs are authentic, made by a chef who trained in France. I was impressed that this is the only place in Japan where you can enjoy authentic flavors. Kin Beach is right outside the hotel, and eating your breakfast box on the beach is a blissful experience. 📍ASBO STAY HOTEL 10907 Kin, Kin-cho, Kunigami-gun, Okinawa 904-1201 #aloedesse#asbostayhotel #creativefrench #frenchrestaurant #coursemeal #okinawadinner #okinawahotel #hotelrestaurant #okinawatrip #kintown #okinawa

#okinawatrip Great size park with areas for different ages. It has two locations for public bathrooms with changing tables for babies. There is a fenced in area for smaller babies. Vending machines and water fountains are available as well. There is a track here for running and covered picnic areas. The park is very clean and well kept grass cut. There are water sprinklers that are timed and perfect for keeping cool in hot weather.

#thingstodo Pretty rest stop with ocean views and gardens! Had a food stand, a store and a ticket restaurant inside. The downfall, if you're on a bus tour and there are a lot of busses the wait to use a bathroom is 15-20minutes for females.I really like this station, it's a great place to make a break before continuing north. There is a vending machine with ice creams and a shop where you can buy local snacks. You can also walk in a small garden and get into a higher spot for a sight seeing over the nearby sea.

This restaurant is affectionately known as "Kintaco" by Okinawans. I drove around in a rental car and tried both the main store in Kin and the Yokatsu store, which I had seen reviews on Google Maps saying was the best Kintaco. In the end, I personally preferred the main store, as it had a stronger flavor. The meat at the Yokatsu store seemed a little bland, so I think this store is more recommended for people who like bland flavors. The portions are so big they almost spill out of the container, but the exquisite taste of the taco meat, cheese, and sauce is so delicious that you can keep eating! The taco rice in the photo is "Taco Rice Cheese Vegetables" and if you order "Taco Rice" at this restaurant, you will get only taco meat on the rice. Other options include "Taco Rice Cheese" which is just cheese on rice, and "Taco Rice Vegetables" which is just lettuce on rice. The tacos we ordered were also very delicious (but the ingredients fall apart as you eat, so it's honestly quite hard to eat). The area where the main store is located is close to the US military base, and the atmosphere of the alleys is so American that you'll feel like you're in America. It's a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the store, so you can enjoy the cityscape. #Okinawa Tourism

Since it's near a US military base, there are many Showa-era bars! It's a fun place with an atmosphere that doesn't feel like Japan. #Lots of fashionable food #Gourmet

Visited in December 2022 *Okukubi River Mangrove Forest The mangrove forest, which stretches over about 25 hectares at the mouth of the river, is known to have the greatest variety of plants on the main island of Okinawa, including Bruguiera candel, and Mangrove Tree.😊 Kayak tours up the Okukubi River are popular, and there were people enjoying them on this day as well.✨ There are promenades and decks along the river, so you can enjoy nature by observing various creatures without entering the river.🎵 #tripmemory2022#Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism
