A Café and a Streamlined Check-in to Kick Off Your Trip

Enjoy Original Enzyme Drinks at “Fermentation in Everyday Life DELI&CAFE”

Once you arrive at the hotel, take a moment to relax. Before checking in, you can order a welcome drink at “Kurashi no Hakko DELI&CAFE” on the lobby level. What surprised me when I looked at the menu was the wide variety of “Original Enzyme Drinks”! After hesitating a bit, I chose one, and as I sipped it, its natural sweetness gently washed over my tired body, instantly lifting my spirits and making me think, “This is the start of a healthy stay.”

The café also offers healthy desserts and deli items, making it the perfect spot for lunch or a coffee break during your stay.

Eco-friendly and waste-free! An amenity bar where you can choose exactly what you need

Right next to the check-in counter, there’s an amenity bar. The idea is to choose only what you really need—such as toothbrushes and skincare products—and then head to your room. While I appreciate this eco-friendly initiative to reduce waste, there’s also a bit of fun in taking the time to pick out items that suit my personal preferences.

Simple, comfortable guest rooms and breathtaking, soothing views

Simple, soothing guest rooms stripped of all excess

When I opened the door to the “Twin Room (High-Floor View)” where I stayed this time, I found an “extremely simple” and sophisticated space stripped of any unnecessary decor. Since they use EM (Effective Microorganisms) for cleaning, there was absolutely no room odor, making it feel very clean and reassuring.

The bathroom is a prefabricated unit. They’re so thorough that even the shampoo and other toiletries provided in the room use EM-based products! The same shampoo and other toiletries were available in the large public bath as well.

Relaxation wear (lounge wear) suitable for wearing to the large public bath was provided. Not having to go out of your way to change clothes and being able to move around the facility in a relaxed manner is a real highlight of a resort stay!

Kids Take Center Stage! An All-Inclusive Experience That Will Captivate Them

Safe and Secure! A Special “KIDS Lounge” Available Only During Summer Vacation

The biggest highlight of this “KIDS All-Inclusive” plan is the “KIDS Lounge,” designed exclusively for children. The kids’ eyes light up at the sight of the natural wood ball pit and the arts-and-crafts corner!

In addition, the facility features an “Additive-Free Snack Corner” and an “Organic Juice Bar” where you can help yourself to as many servings as you like. Since only “healthy options” are carefully selected, moms and dads can watch their kids with a smile—without having to say “No”—which is a real plus. It even helps ease the emotional burden on parents.

Perfect for summer vacation science projects! An authentic workshop that will impress even parents

The “Parent-Child Food Education Workshops,” held daily, are more than just playtime. Activities—such as making curry buns with uncooked rice, tasting raw honey, and creating snow globes while reflecting on the microplastics problem—offer hands-on learning about Okinawa’s nature and the SDGs. For parents, being able to have their kids finish their summer homework (independent research projects) while having fun at the hotel is nothing short of a godsend!

Curiosity Never Stops! KIDS Lab and the Stamp Rally

From the “KIDS Lab,” where children use microscopes to explore the invisible world, to the “stamp rally” where they go on an adventure throughout the hotel—the kids were thrilled from start to finish, especially since they could earn a soft-serve ice cream as a reward for completing all the challenges! It’s a wonderful environment where children can take center stage and discover ways to play and learn on their own, without parents having to step in.

The Benefits of Fermentation and the Ultimate Relaxation Experience—Deeply Soothing Even for Adults

Feel Like You're at a Traditional Japanese Restaurant! All-You-Can-Eat Teppanyaki and a Satisfying Dinner with a Wide Variety of Dishes

I thought, “Since this is a health-conscious hotel, maybe dinner will be on the light side?”—but I couldn’t have been more wrong! The dinner buffet offered an incredibly wide variety of dishes, and the quality was truly satisfying. What got me most excited was that they provided small individual hot pots—the kind you’d find at a traditional Japanese restaurant (the authentic ones that use blue solid fuel!)—and, believe it or not, the teppanyaki was all-you-can-eat! The special feeling of savoring freshly sizzling meat at your own pace had even the adults smiling without realizing it.

Joy from the Very Core of Your Body! “Fermented Breakfast” Packed with the Bounty of Our Own Farm

One of the highlights of the morning is the “Fermented Rice” breakfast buffet, featuring plenty of organic vegetables and free-range eggs carefully raised on our own farm. The dishes, made with homemade shio-koji and miso, all have a rich, natural flavor—so delicious that with every bite, it feels like your cells are waking up with joy. “Even my child, who usually doesn’t eat much breakfast, loved it so much they asked for seconds!”—the reviews are full of praise, and you’ll be impressed by the quality of every single bite.

Reset Your Fatigue at "EM SPA" While Surrounded by the Great Outdoors

While the children play in the lounge or immerse themselves in workshops, the adults can head to “EM SPA (Corazon Okinawa),” which features a large public bath and a sauna. The water—drawn from deep underground and treated with EM technology—feels surprisingly gentle on the skin. After working up a good sweat in the sauna and enjoying an outdoor air bath while feeling the breeze from the great outdoors, your daily stress will be completely reset. Adults, too, can pamper themselves to their heart’s content.

Find souvenirs at “Kurashi no Hakko STORE OKINAWA”

Before checking out, we recommend stopping by the “Kurashi no Hakko STORE OKINAWA” inside the hotel. Here, you’ll find a wide selection of EM-related items actually used at the hotel, as well as carefully curated organic foods and eco-friendly, sustainable goods. You’ll discover wonderful items that allow you to bring the “comfortable lifestyle” you experienced at the hotel right back home with you.

This resort completely shatters the common belief that “traveling with kids is exhausting for parents”—it’s absolutely the perfect choice!
