Hoshi no Terrace Motobu Yamazato

Perched in Motobu’s hills, a short 10-minute drive from the region’s famous aquarium and several white-sand beaches. Close to local ports, small museums and butterfly gardens. About 60 km from the nearest major airport. Family-friendly base for island hopping and coastal day trips.

A small, modern property with just 10 rooms, opened in 2015. Every room features a jetted Jacuzzi bath, private balcony or patio and LCD TV. Rooms range from roughly 28–52 m², with a standout deluxe that has two Jacuzzis facing mountain and sea views. Expect simple, clean decor, complimentary toiletries and little touches for a relaxed stay. No in-room kitchen — it’s a hotel, not a condo.

Take in island and mountain vistas from the rooftop terrace and garden. Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout. On-site vending machine and a common-area TV. Free self parking and guest laundry are available. A local diving club operates nearby, and an elevator makes upper floors accessible. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings from many rooms.

High-speed wired internet, a 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff. Luggage storage and basic business-friendly services available on request.

On-site restaurant serves a continental breakfast daily from 7–9 AM for a fee, using local ingredients where possible. Window-side tables offer mountain views at mealtime. A selection of local eateries, izakayas and a popular pizza spot are a short walk or drive away.
