Sightseeing
Located on a hill overlooking Naha Port, Naminoue Shrine, nicknamed "Nanmin-san" by the citizens of Naha, is considered the most prestigious shrine in Okinawa Prefecture and is a popular power spot for marriage. It is also a scenic spot where the vermilion shrine pavilions stand out against the blue sky.
Umikaji Terrace is a resort facility adjacent to the west coast of Senaga Island, about 15 minutes by car from Naha Airport.
It is also called the Amalfi of Japan because of the beautiful contrast between the pure white storefronts built on the slope and the turquoise blue.
The number of visitors to Senaga Island annually is approximately 3.3 million, making it a popular spot in Okinawa. You can enjoy more than 40 unique stores offering fruits and vegetables unique to Okinawa, gourmet sweets with locally produced menus, select stores, and jewelry made in OKINAWA. It is a must-see sightseeing spot.
It is the main street of Naha City, the largest city in Okinawa. Lined with palm trees and filled with a tropical atmosphere, the street is lined with restaurants and souvenir stores, making it an indispensable spot for tourists. The sound of "sanshin" the traditional Okinawan musical culture, can be heard from many stores here and there, making you realize that you are in Okinawa just by walking around.
According to one theory, the name "Nagannu" comes from the Okinawan dialect word for something long and narrow, and this elongated island came to be called "Nagannu Island". The island is a spawning ground for sea turtles and seabirds, which are rare in the world, as well as a natural habitat for palm trees, monpariki, adan, and other plants. The island is accessible by a 10-minute boat ride from Tomari Port (commonly known as Tomarin), which is an 8-minute drive (22-minute walk) from the hotel.
Naha City is a hidden steak battleground where many steak houses compete with each other. In the Tsuji area of Naha City, where our hotel is located, there are many famous steak houses, which are always bustling with local customers and tourists. After a night of fun in Naha, some people end their evening with a "steak". Why don't you enjoy the juicy flavor of juicy meat with a firm, lean steak?
The Ocean of Okinawa - Experience the rich nature, history and culture of the Ocean Expo Park, where you can also interact with dolphins. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is one of the most popular spots in Ocean Expo Park. The aquarium offers a magnificent world of mysterious Okinawan creatures. The "Sea of Coral" tank, bathed in sunlight, features a large-scale coral breeding exhibit. The "Kuroshio Sea" is a huge and powerful tank where visitors can observe whale sharks, the world's largest fish, and the world's first successfully bred southern manta rays. The "Deep Sea" tank reproduces the deep sea of Okinawa, which is shrouded in mystery, allowing visitors to experience the entire ocean of Okinawa.
Tomari Port is the gateway between Naha and the islands of the Kerama archipelago via regular shipping routes. From the terminal, nicknamed "Tomarin" you can reach major islands such as Zamami Island, Tokashiki Island, and Aka Island. The Kerama Islands are known worldwide for the beautiful blue of the sea, called "Kerama blue," and its rich nature, and are a mecca for diving, snorkeling, and other marine leisure activities. Since HOTEL SANSUI NAHA is only an 8-minute drive (22-minute walk) from Tomari Port, many of our guests stay here as a base for sightseeing in Kerama.
