AO nakijin, a private villa with a grand opening on April 1, 2025, is a retreat for adults in Nakijin Village in the northern part of Okinawa's main island, with two buildings, Yanbaru and Amahaji. The villa is built on top of a hill, with the Yanbaru forest in front of you, the Okinawan sea in the distance, and a heated outdoor private pool. It was a luxurious villa where you can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and reset yourself.

Unusual exterior and meticulous interior
Beautiful exterior that jumps out at you
We stayed at Yanbaru terrace at AO nakijin. It features a sophisticated design that harmonizes with nature. The exterior of the inn is triangular in shape, and one can sense the strong attention to detail from the exterior.
Surrounded by the greenery of Yanbaru, the white exterior walls and the light streaming in through the large windows make you feel extraordinary from the moment you arrive. Once you step into the villa, the depth of the view and the openness of the space will take your breath away.
Spacious common areas
The center of the villa is a seamless extension of the kitchen, dining, and living room, a great floor plan for group travel.
The interior is decorated in high-quality tones of solid asphalt gray, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
There is also an area on the terrace where you can relax. The view of Yanbaru from here is also nice!
Rooms that combine comfort and design
Bedrooms are located on the first and second floors. Each has a private room-like feel and two toilets.
The second floor has only a bedroom and a toilet. Family trips or friends can stay in privacy. Both are equipped with a large TV.
All furniture and appliances are high style. Barmuda products, stylish sofas, and lighting have all been carefully selected.
Luxurious stay experience with the view all to yourself
Private swimming pool overlooking Yanbaru
The most attractive feature of AO nakijin is the private pool. It is heated in winter, so it can be enjoyed all year round. The pool has a completely different look depending on the time of day, such as a morning bath with the morning sun, a pool with the sunset, or a night pool under a star-filled sky.
Facility facilities that offer convenience and attention to detail
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything from dishes to seasonings. Although not shown in the photo, there was also an outlet-type griddle and a takoyaki machine! It looks like a long stay will not be a problem.
The microwave, kettle, and toaster are all made by Barmuda. Incidentally, the air purifier is also a Barmuda.
Of course, the room is fully equipped with a washing machine and dryer. Long-term stays are no problem.
VOD is available for those who tend to stay cooped up in their rooms.
Parking for 2 cars is of course free, and Wi-Fi is available, making it ideal for workcationers.
Meal plans available
Not only overnight stay with no meal, but also dinner and breakfast plans are available.
We decided to stay overnight without meals because we wanted to enjoy some restaurants within a 15-minute drive. We decided to stay overnight without meals because there are several restaurants within a 15-minute drive and we wanted to enjoy the food there.
The special offer for the opening is amazing.

Review of Okibara
AO nakijin, with its tranquility, luxury, and privacy, is truly an "Okinawa Villa for Adults. Surrounded by the nature of Yanbaru and beautiful light, AO nakijin offers a quality experience that cannot be fully conveyed in a video.
