Okinawa Harborview Hotel is recommended as a base for sightseeing in Okinawa

Okinawa Harborview Hotel is about a 10-minute drive from Naha and offers excellent access to tourist attractions.

Since opening in 1975, the hotel has walked alongside Okinawa's history for half a century, weaving its traditions and spirit of hospitality into its legacy. As it approaches its 50th anniversary in 2025, a major milestone, it is undergoing a major renovation as a new step toward the next 50 years. Originally conceived as a full-fledged urban hotel in Naha City, the hotel will continue to be the "face of Okinawa" and a destination of choice for many guests. The club lounge, located on the hotel's Mogami, has been reborn as one of the largest spaces in Naha City, and the guest rooms, lounge, and bar have also been redesigned with a modern and sophisticated design. The Garden Pool has been expanded, and the newly opened poolside bar offers elegant and luxurious moments while feeling the Nankoku breeze, from daytime to nighttime.

* The Garden Pool is scheduled to be renovated and completed in 2026.

Enjoy an active stay in Naha with transportation included

Our hotel has prepared an activity experience plan that allows you to easily venture out into Okinawa's oceans and Mori while staying in Naha .

We offer a new way to spend your time in Naha, expanding the possibilities of your stay.

Introducing popular activities

An amazing encounter rate! Whale watching

Whale watching, a representative winter spectacle of Okinawa, allows you to observe humpback whales, one of the world's largest mammals, up close. The whales return to the waters of Zamami, surrounded by coral reefs, to breed, and the sight of their gigantic bodies, measuring approximately 15 meters in length and weighing approximately 30 tons, in action is truly impressive. Come and see the dynamic movements of life unfolding on an overwhelming scale from the sea.

Enjoy a day trip from Naha to experience the remote island "Tokashiki Island Tokashiki Beach Swimming Tour"

Head to Tokashiki Island by regular ferry (large ferry), and upon arrival, you'll be whisked off to the beach in a private shuttle. At Tokashiki Beach, famous for its sea turtles, you'll have the chance to encounter them while snorkeling. This tour combines an authentic remote island experience with your stay in Naha.

Come empty-handed! Sea fishing in Okinawa

Departing from Naha Port, you can experience offshore fishing at a secret spot near the uninhabited island of Kerama, guided by a local fisherman. All fishing equipment can be rented, making this a popular plan for beginners and families. You can catch colorful fish species unique to Okinawa, including "Gurkun," and after the tour, you can have them cooked at the nearby shop, "Blessings of the Sea."

Mangrove Kayaking

Take a leisurely kayak tour of the Hija River, known as a scenic spot since the Ryukyu Dynasty. The Hija River boasts one of the largest watersheds on Okinawa 's Hon Island, and downstream is a lush mangrove forest where you can get up close and personal with the flora and fauna that are unique to the subtropics. Even beginners can participate with confidence, and the view looking up from the river is truly impressive.
