Ada Garden Hotel Okinawa

Ada Garden sits at Ada on the Kunigami east coast and calls itself the northernmost resort on Okinawa. Its 28 rooms look into the subtropical forest of the World Heritage area. The birds come to you here: the hotel's photos show the Okinawa woodpecker (noguchigera) and the Okinawa robin around the grounds, and an Okinawa rail foraging nearby. Jalan's 156 reviewers rate it 4.8 out of 5, with the service scored highest.

The hotel has no pool. In February the forest walks and the birds are the reason to come. For riders Ada falls at a natural point on the Cape Hedo loop, the night before or after the long east-coast stretch of Route 70. Parking is free, and you should ask the hotel about a place for the bike.
