Smart Condo Tomari

I got lucky and found on-site parking for about ¥1000 a night, which was a score. The location in Naha is handy for the airport and the Foster/Kadena bases if you’re heading out. It’s pet-friendly with no extra pet fee. The Japanese-style shower and tub were great, and the little kitchen was adequate, definitely better than any hotel room on base. The balcony was nice, though pet rooms are on the third floor and don’t have much of a view. Higher floors may have better ones. It’s super cute and small but worked perfectly for me. I’m 5’5 and the bed fit me just right, so it may not suit someone tall or large.

My biggest gripe was that there was just one key for the whole room.

The bed was comfy, and I found the room a decent size, with a huge balcony and an excellent bathroom. The kitchen was useful and made the place feel like a small apartment. The location was very good, and the staff were lovely. No complaints.

This was my second stay, and I found the place clean and tidy. For a longer visit, having a washer-dryer, rice cooker, and other cooking utensils is really convenient. There’s a ¥1,000 charge to use the cooking items for a one-night stay, but they’re free if you stay two nights or more. The bathtub was great, too. Parking is limited to two spaces, so reserve ahead. It costs ¥1,000 per night and lets you come and go as you like.
