EM Wellness Resort Costa Vista Okinawa Hotel & Spa

Located in Nakagusuku, central Okinawa, this hotel is one of the few in Okinawa that features an on-site hot spring. While it may be challenging to reach via public transportation, it is accessible by bus or taxi. Between 9 AM and 5 PM, you can also take a free local shuttle bus departing from Aeon Mall Rycom. However, the shuttle runs only once an hour, and since it circulates through Nakagusuku tourist spots before reaching the hotel, a taxi ride that takes 7 minutes might take over 30 minutes by bus. A taxi ride from Aeon Mall costs approximately 1,500 yen.

The hotel offers spacious standard rooms of 30 square meters, complete with balconies. Depending on the location, you can enjoy ocean views, as the hotel is situated on elevated ground. My room had a view of palm trees.

This large-scale hotel is popular among locals who visit solely for its hot spring facilities. While hotel guests are not granted free access, they are provided with discount coupons, reducing the fee from 1,500–2,000 yen to 800 yen. The hot spring facilities are modest, akin to a neighborhood bathhouse, and lack outdoor baths. However, the hot spring is enriched with EM milk silky water, which is said to be beneficial for the skin.

The breakfast area offers stunning views and a menu filled with healthy options. Nearby attractions include the Nakagusuku Castle Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is about a 10-minute taxi ride away.

For those traveling by rental car, the hotel is conveniently located near Aeon Mall, tourist spots, and American Village, which is just a 20-minute drive away. Considering its price, this hotel is a great choice. Thank you.
