North Okinawa, Okinawa Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"We got a room in the grand cottage section (room 191). It was spacious, well clean and very comfortable. It looked like new. The park where the cottages and rooms are, is beautiful and the beach is nice too. The staff is very nice and helpful. The hotel have different restaurant options that we enjoyed a lot. The breakfast buffet is wonderful with a lot of varieties, the best we got of our 2 weeks trip in Japan. We loved the location in the north, in the Yanbaru national park, with access to trails and more remote places with less tourists and less people. But, because it is farther north, it’s better to have a car. I can’t imagine if we didn’t have one. Overall, very nice hotel."

"We booked from Canada on Expedia and got a week for an incredible price including the nutritious and extensive breakfast buffet offering both western and local favorites. The hotel is quiet and offers many services including several pools, workout facilities facilities and an incredible Japanese onsen experience. I used the outdoor pools in a heavy rain, onsen is covered but experiencing the jungle while soaking was an unforgettable and therapeutic experience. Check in staff and all hotel staff are super friendly. Many good souvenir shops and a convenience store in the hotel lobby. They have incredible evening live shows by the poolside including Okinawan drummers and dancers. Truly a memorable stay! After a week stay we got to know some of the staff and we were sad to say goodbye. "

"Lovely stay, staff made our stay feel special. Enjoyed the club access as well. Thank you!"

"Very clean and large rooms, staff was incredible "

"Staff were friendly. There was free fresh juice daily in reception. Room was spacious with a great view of the ocean. The seasonal outdoor pool is unheated, was a bit cold in April so it wasn't busy the 2 times we used it. Large car park."

"It's always like coming home. The location is great, the staff are so welcoming and the breakfast is outstanding."

"We had one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever experienced here. The food was fresh, delicious, and enjoyed with a beautiful view that made the whole morning feel extra special. The scenery around the property is stunning, and the small private beach creates a relaxing atmosphere that feels exclusive and peaceful. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and very service-minded, making us feel well taken care of throughout our stay. We also had a massage that was absolutely amazing. Overall, a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend."
