Excitement Builds: A Sophisticated Facade and Reception Area
A New-Era Design That Stands Out Against the Sky of Yanbaru
The stylish exterior of the annex building stands in striking contrast to Nago’s blue sky. The moment you arrive, you’ll be filled with the exhilaration of knowing, “I’ve arrived at a new place!” Its sophisticated ambiance, which makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city, serves as a gateway to an extraordinary experience.
A Warm Welcome to Kick Off Your Trip
As soon as you step inside, you’ll be greeted by the front desk and lobby, filled with the pleasant scent unique to a brand-new building. In this space where modern art blends with warm, inviting interiors, our staff will welcome you with a smile. Your anticipation for the wonderful stay that begins here will grow.
Select your favorites from the amenity bar
Once you’ve checked in, head over to the “Amenity Bar” located behind the check-in counter. In addition to amenities like skincare sets and hairbrushes, there were even bath salts you could blend to your liking! Choosing your favorite scent adds a fun touch and makes bath time feel a little more special!
Three Premium Seats to Set Your Mind Free
An exclusive lounge where you can enjoy the tranquility of the forest and moments bathed in amber light
The “Yanbaru Forest Lounge” is an exclusive perk for guests staying in the Annex building. From 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., ice-cold beer, highballs, awamori, and more are—believe it or not—free. Raise a toast just for the two of you while gazing out at the forest spreading out beyond the windows.
Another place where playfulness and functionality coexist
You’re also free to use the “2LDK” lounge in the hotel wing! Whether you’re enjoying a cold beer while waiting for your laundry to finish, this is a stylish touch unique to this hotel that blends functionality and entertainment.
You can also enjoy the café lounge on the first floor!
A Private Terrace Where You Can Feel the Breath of the Forest
A standard whirlpool tub in every room to relax your mind and body
The Annex’s greatest appeal is the spacious whirlpool tubs found in every guest room. Just like an open-air bath, the luxury of soaking in the hot water while feeling the Yanbaru breeze effortlessly washes away the fatigue of the day.
A blissful morning, soothed by the green gradient
The “Yanbaru Terrace Room,” where I stayed this time, offers a comforting feeling of being enveloped by the forest. The “forest view” I enjoyed while sipping coffee provides a deep sense of peace that’s quite different from the ocean.
A Playground of Light and Wind Where Smiles Shine Bright
The lawn area stretching out right in front of the hotel is truly a playground for children. During the day, they run around blowing bubbles and playing on the playground equipment, and at night, their eyes sparkle at the sight of the fireworks. It’s a place where adults can reconnect with their inner child and strengthen family bonds.
There are also many limited-time events, so you can enjoy a fresh experience every time you stay there.
A Yanbaru Feast That Delights the Five Senses
A Colorful Buffet Featuring the Bounty of the Tropics
Mornings at the “RYUKYU YANBARU DINING SESSION” feature locally sourced ingredients as the stars of the show. A table laden with island vegetables and traditional Okinawan dishes is the perfect way to start your day, recharging both your mind and body.
The soul-stirring sound of the sanshin and exquisite grilled dishes
For dinner, enjoy freshly grilled churrasco and colorful Okinawan tapas. When the live sanshin performances—held twice a day—begin, the venue is filled with a sense of togetherness. True to its reputation for “absolutely delicious food,” every dish is infused with the chef’s passion.

The Annex, which opened in July 2024, is truly a place to enjoy the “stillness” in the balance of “stillness and movement.” The view of the lush forest from the whirlpool tub, the leisurely pace of time in the lounge, and the smiling faces of children playing in the garden at night—this hotel not only offers great value for money but also provides a deeply satisfying experience.
