Okinawa Kariyushi Beach Resort Ocean Spa, hotel in Onna, Japan
Okinawa Kariyushi Beach Resort Ocean Spa is a large beachfront resort in Kunigami, Okinawa, Japan, with over 500 rooms that face either the sea or the surrounding gardens. The property includes a spa with baths and saunas, several restaurants, an outdoor pool, and a sandy beach directly on site.
The resort grew out of the tourism development in northern Okinawa and over the years became a known destination for families visiting the island. It has since introduced environmental programs such as coral planting and beach cleanup to protect the local coastline.
The name Kariyushi comes from the Ryukyu island language and means good fortune and celebration. Guests can rent and wear traditional Ryukyu garments on site for photos, which offers a direct and visible link to the local island culture.
The resort is set up for guests with mobility needs, with wheelchair-accessible facilities and adapted restrooms throughout the property. On site you will also find a fitness center, a beauty salon, laundry services, and a convenience store for day-to-day needs.
The resort offers pet-friendly rooms, which means guests can bring their dogs or cats along for a stay on the island without leaving them behind. This option is not widely advertised and makes it one of the few places in this part of Okinawa where travelers can stay with their animals.
