Nakijin Hotels with Breakfast

It’s a sanctuary, but need more choice of food.

Everything was amazing for Valentine’s Day! This is perfect for a couple going away from everything and everyone! From the second we parked our car and getting our bags taken upstairs to the last pictures taken by the host! Wagyu burger spot like 2 minutes away walking and heart rock like 5 min or less walking. It was so peaceful waking up to the sunrise and beautiful view!

My stay at Yawn Yard Kouri Island (Sea) was overall very pleasant. Each villa features a private swimming pool and an outdoor soaking tub, offering a serene and luxurious retreat. The in-room dining service was especially ideal for families with infants—like ours, with a 3-month-old baby boy. It allowed us to enjoy meals without worrying about sudden crying episodes disturbing other guests, as might happen in a public restaurant setting. The dinner provided through in-room dining was exceptionally delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We truly enjoyed both breakfast and dinner in the villa’s outdoor courtyard, where we could take in stunning ocean views, sunsets, and even rainbows—a truly magical experience. The bed was incredibly comfortable, adding to the overall sense of relaxation and making our stay even more memorable. That said, it’s worth noting that the villa’s design leans toward an eco-lodge style. The bathroom is located at the rear of the house, requiring guests to walk through the outdoor courtyard each time they need to use it. This can be less convenient in the evening, especially when insects like spiders are more active. For this reason, the accommodation may not suit everyone.

Let me start by saying I highly recommend this place. The rooms are spacious and affordable, and there's a balcony where you can sit and enjoy the scenery. Plus, there's a large bathtub perfect for soaking while looking out at the ocean, with a direct view of the bridge. The paid breakfast, costing ¥800, is quite delicious and worth trying. The owner is also incredibly kind; they'll even wave goodbye and bow when you check out. I'd definitely stay here again if I have the chance. The only downside is the hotel's location. While not far, the road leading up to it is genuinely narrow and steep. Even driving a light vehicle with a yellow license plate, I found the road quite small, so larger cars might not be able to make it up. But overall, it's excellent! 😎

When I booked, the price was so low that I honestly didn't expect much, but I was extremely satisfied with my stay! The room was very spacious, and I was impressed that there was a free washer and dryer in the common area, plus all the amenities were provided. In the morning, I could walk to the beach in about 8 minutes, and the hotel also had a rooftop, making for a wonderful experience!

From the room to the amenities, the view, the service, and the breakfast, everything was incredibly satisfying! Upon arrival, our luggage was immediately carried to our room, even though there wasn't an elevator. The staff provided delicious cocktails and beautifully presented plates. After each person filled out their information, a dedicated staff member came to explain the hotel's amenities. There was a free drink bar and lounge chairs by the pool for stargazing! The room layout was exactly as pictured, and all food and drinks in the room were complimentary. We arrived late for dinner, so we bought something from a nearby convenience store. The staff heated up our food and provided plenty of tableware for us to enjoy. The service was truly excellent! After a satisfying meal and rest, we enjoyed a relaxing bath and a sound sleep. Waking up to the beautiful view completely made the morning pain go away! I felt so refreshed! Breakfast was also a delight, especially the view and service. Someone in the family had a birthday, and perhaps they noticed it when we were filling out the information, so they took the initiative to celebrate and gave us a fruit plate as cake during breakfast! It was a pleasant surprise and a delight. The building next door has a swimming pool, a small jacuzzi, and a small cold spring. The changing rooms, toilets, and showers were clean and air-conditioned, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself there. It's a shame I didn't have enough time to enjoy the bar and other amenities. This is a luxury hotel I'd love to visit again! Even if it means driving off the beaten path, it's worth it!

Hotel location is a bit difficult, when booking the hotel, I saw a sauna and a jacuzzi on the Internet. The website mentioned that I needed to pay separately. I was full of joy and thought that I could enjoy the above facilities for free. I only knew that I needed to pay separately. Everyone needed to calculate independently.

The hotel is located on Kouri Island, with a very nice view of Kouri Bridge. The room is large and equipped with cooking utensils. It can accommodate many people. The cleaning time was very random and did not follow the schedule, and the hotel staff came into the room to clean without prior notice. I was a bit dissatisfied. Since I had notified the hotel through Trip.com before departure that I would arrive very late, but when I arrived, I found that the front desk was closed, and there was no prior notice from Trip.com or the hotel about the key collection arrangements, which made my group very panic. Fortunately, I found Trip.com customer service to find the password. Thank you to the customer service and compensation for helping me handle it that day.

The view from the room is wonderful. I was able to enjoy the extraordinary space. It was very good. However, the bath was covered with glass, but I was a little worried about the water red. I think the corners of the bath and the corners of the guest rooms were not well cleaned. I don't think it's a cheap villa, so I wanted you to notice the details. Also, since the restaurant was far away, I procured rice and drinks in advance and ate slowly in the room, but there were no chopsticks or plates, and there was no microwave. There was a wine glass, a plastic spoon and a paper cup, but there are no other tableware, so you need to prepare it in advance.

Despite the remote location in a far corner of Kouri Island, this Villa is quite easily accessible, within walking distance to the landmark attraction Heart Rock on the Island. The openness of the Villa is unique, which may not be liked by those who require security and privacy. A dip in the jacuzzi on the terrace during the day is a highlight of our stay. We particularly enjoyed having all curtains opened so we could submerge ourselves in nature and looked at the vast blue sky of Okinawa in the sunny afternoon we luckily had during our stay in mid April.
