Subtropical Chaya is an Asian food cafe located in Motobu, Okinawa. I finally got to go to a cafe I've been wanting to go to for years. Even though I went at a weird time, it was a very popular cafe and I had to wait quite a while. I loved the atmosphere and the food so much that it's one of the cafes I want to go to again. It's worth the wait! By chance, there were a lot of foreigners at the outdoor seats. We joined them. On the other side is a spectacular ocean view from a high point. You can see mountains that look like Hawaii (really lol). I recommend going on a nice day.

Highly recommended hotel. Although the facilities are older, there are a lot of activities, large rooms and many restaurant options. The service staff are also very friendly. After dinner, there will be traditional shamisen and drum performances. It has a very beautiful private beach where you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery everywhere.

There is a large suspension bridge about halfway from the parking lot to the falls, and mysterious plants grow along the way, so you can enjoy a never-boring hike.

Located in Mizube Motobu, Okinawa, Orion Motobu Resort & Spa is near an aquarium. There is a large parking lot, suitable for self-driving tours. The hotel's rooms are large, simple and comfortable in design, clean and well-maintained. The room has a terrace with a superb sea view. The scenery and environment are great, and it feels like a vacation. Near the hotel is the famous beach, Emerald Beach, with clear water and fine sand. The hotel's breakfast is average, and the hot springs cost extra. The hotel is good overall, but the price is not high. #See the Earth in an instant

Trekking through palm trees 👟🌴 When we saw large ferns and rare butterflies, it felt like we had traveled back in time to the dinosaur era. 🦋🦕This is truly a jungle.

This is an introduction to Hotel Moon Beach, the original resort hotel in Okinawa. If you're not sure which resort hotel to choose on the west coast, you can't go wrong with this one! That's what I can say about this wonderful hotel. Despite its reasonable price, I was surprised at the extensive facilities, including ocean view rooms, an infinity pool, and a private beach! The hotel was filled with ideas that gave it a tropical feel, and it felt like I was in Hawaii 🏝This hotel has become one of my favorites. #Okinawa #Onna Village #Unique Accommodation#Breathtaking Views

A sunset photo I took at Hotel Moon Beach in Okinawa. The hotel is beautiful and open. So tropical looking. Lots of water activities and you can go to their private island to do diving and snorkeling. The food is good but less options in the menu. Their wifi is weak so my friend and I didn’t use it. 4 out of 5 stars for me. #naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Cape Hedo, the northernmost point of Okinawa 🌊 A vast ocean stretches out before you, and it's a spot where you can feel the great outdoors. The waves crashing violently against the cliffs are dynamic!! The sky is wide, and the mountain scenery on the other side is also beautiful✨ There weren't many tourists, so why not go and refresh yourself in the great outdoors! #supporttourism #Okinawa #greatview #remoteislandtrip #triptovisitremoteislands#supporttourism#greatview
