Subtropical Okinawa Welcomes New Hotels

Japan’s southernmost prefecture, Okinawa, has welcomed the opening of four new hotels with a premium villa resort on Irabu, a well-located beachfront property on Senaga, a coastal escape on Ishigaki and a secluded luxury resort on Miyako.

The new accommodation options provide even more choice for travellers visiting the subtropical region, which is just three hours by air from Tokyo and boasts a year-round warm climate comparable to Hawaii, Miami and Cancun. Home to 160 islands abundant with lush green forests and more than 1,000 kilometres of stunning coastline leading to coral-rich waters, Okinawa is a popular destination for sun-seekers and its unique Ryukyu heritage provides an abundance of fascinating culture and history.
