Five Select Okinawa Cottages Popular on Social Media to Share with Friends
If you are traveling to Okinawa with your family or close friends, try renting a cottage! They have kitchens so are appropriate for longer stays. Here are five facilities popular on social media sites.
1. Tokashiki Guest House
These are cottages on Tokashiki, the largest of the Kerama Islands, which are located about 30km to the west of Naha. The surrounding ocean is described as "Kerama blue" and is among the most beautiful in the world. Marine sports such as diving are popular in the summer, and whale watching is popular in the winter.
The cottages are on a mountain overlooking the ocean. They are away from the village, so you can feel as if you have the surrounding nature all to yourself. There are two cottages, both of which have bedding for up to six people. There are free shuttle services to the port and beach.
One night in one cottage: 21,000 JPY and up
Languages spoken: English
2. Paparagi Oukoku
Paparagi Oukoku is a Western-style inn located about 5 minutes by car from Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There is a cottage for five as well as apartment-type accommodations for two to four people (8,640 JPY/room). It is about a 30-second walk to the beach. All rooms in all five cottages have views of the ocean.
More people can stay in either type for an extra 1,080 JPY (incl. tax) per adult and 540 JPY (incl. tax) per child.

There are two cottages. Each has bedding for up to six people but can accommodate up to 10. The living rooms have sofas on which you can relax. The bathrooms are relatively large, so they are convenient for guests with children.
