Motobu Homestays

I just returned from Okinawa on 8 days 7 nights trip. After collecting my rental car at Naha Airport, my family spent 3 nights at Churaumi Village (2nd type) which is newer and about 700 m from the 1st Churaumi Village. We find the stay very enjoyable as it has a well-equipped kitchen and bath area - washing machine, cooking utensils, oven, microwave, dish warmer, rice cooker, kettle etc. The lower floor has toilet, bathing room, living room and kitchen. You can hang your clothes using the hanging liners provided at the balcony (2nd floor) or go to the office to use the dryer which charge 200 yen per wash. And the upper level is 2 rooms - one room consists of 2 beddings and the other is tatami room with futons. Outside the house is a small porch which you can have BBQ (which you can order from office). This place is ideal for those who drive as it is not so accessible by public transport, you can simply park your car in front of your apartment. The reason we stayed here is its proximity to many of the places we planned to go - Chuaraumi Aquarium & Ocean Expo Park (5 min drive); Nakijin Castle Ruins (15 min drive), and used it as a stop to arrange tour to places in the north - Kouri Island, Cape Hedo, Nakijin castle ruins etc. The service was excellent. When we checked in, we were led to the unit, briefed on the different amenities and usage. They even provide an information booklet which includes nearby restaurants and supermarkets. When we returned on the second night, it was heartwarming to note that the staff helped to switch on heater so that our washed clothes can dry faster. The apartment is clean but do note that they provided exact number of toothbrush, towels and slippers. But if you are short of anything, you may proceed to ask from the office (less than 50 m away). However, the staff do not clean your room but only take the towels to wash. However there is a vacuum cleaner which you can use to clean the floors. There is a washing point near the door so you can wash off sand after a visit to the beach. I even borrowed a pail to wash my car as it got really dirty. I must mentioned that there is a nearby Lawson and Family Mart (need abt 5 min drive). We patronised these 2 places every night to get our breakfast, drinks and snacks. Overall, my family enjoyed the stay very much. Given the location, service and very reasonable prices, I would strongly recommend this place for those who self drive.

The speedboat that is out of Naha's port is out to Watakuji port and is located a few minutes walk from there. It is also close to the bus stop and supermarket and is conveniently located. The owner was not only familiar with eating and drinking, but also familiar with useful information such as snorkeling and cafes, so it was easy to consult for travel and was very helpful. You can also use kitchen (free) and washing machine (paid) so it is recommended for those who want to travel.

It is a shallow and clean condominium. It was a blue room on the 2nd floor. The good points and disappointments are described below. [Good points] Room with nice interior and bright and clean Free parking There is a washing machine in the room (no detergent, so be careful) The sea in front of you is beautiful 2L Mineral water is available Cooking utensils Cleaning was perfect Late check-out was possible (1 hour 1000 yen, available until 12:00) [Unfortunately] I know it can't be helped, but the black electric wire in front of the veranda is quite damaged. Really left Just in case I requested a high floor, but it was on the 2nd floor It was quite noisy because there was construction on the upper floor (no advance notice, it was said that the room would be changed when I inquired about noise, but moving was also troublesome So declined) There are cooking utensils and cutlery, but there are no plates (glass and mugs are available) The bed blocks the aisle, so you can't use a large walk-in closet. (You can use it if you cross the bed, but it's troublesome so you don't have to use it.) You may not need a swing, I want you to put a dining table instead There are no slippers Parking lot, It was only for mini cars in the shade, but none of them stopped, and if it is not used, I would like you to erase the light mark. There are many unfortunate points, but personal desires are also included. And it was good enough to think about the price and comfort. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

The location was convenient and the room was clean. The best thing was that you could see the harbor from the window, which was better than I expected. The only thing I found a little disappointing was that there were no pajamas in the room, and no drinks (water or tea). I think this is partly because the accommodation fee is cheap, but if these necessary items were provided, I wouldn't mind paying a little more. I would like to use it again.

The service staff at the hotel was very kind, because it was close to dinner time when we checked in, he also guided us to the local people's thought of the most authentic barbecue beef and Okinawa cuisine restaurant. The location of the homestay is very close to the aquarium. In the afternoon, I also bought sushi lunches and breakfast the next day at the supermarket. The location of the homestay is also close to the highway entrance, which is very convenient. The service staff at the homestay were very friendly, as it was almost dinner time when I checked in.

Advantages: The room facilities are relatively complete, equipped with a large kitchen, plus pots and pans; in the room, there are washing machines and dryers, as well as balconies and floor-to-ceiling drying racks; the bathroom is separated from wet and dry. Parking is free. Downhill at the door is a small beach, free to play in the water! Disadvantages: The room is on the first floor, there are many small animals at the door, ants, geckos, big spiders, maybe the seaside house will have this problem. The view from the first floor is not very good, it is a parking lot. Note that this is online check in, and the store will send an email reminder before check-in.
