Okinawa, the Beautiful Island - Ryukyu Onsen - Senagajima Hotel, Okinawa

I love to enjoy onsen (hot spring) in Japan because it's authentic and Japaneses have high standard of personal hygiene. Unlike sunshine and beach, onsen is not very common in Okinawa. Luckily, I found the Ryukyu Onsen - Senagajima Hotel, Okinawa when I conducted research. The hotel features 2 public onsen which is free to guests who stay over. For other guests, a small fee is applied.
















A pair of shisa protects the hotel and its people. The left one keeps good spirit in while the right one scare the bad ones away.
 














The hotel is very close to the Okinawa airport (it takes around 15mins to travel between the points by car) and locates on a hill, making it an ideal location to watch plane landing. It's very exciting to see and hear planes flying over and next to you. Besides of commercial aircrafts, military aircrafts can also be found.

The hotel also serves as a good host to several kawai kitties. Paparazzi awoke this little thing from sweet dream. It tried to hide its face but the paparazzi's cameras were still attracted to it.
