My Place

Very friendly hosts who are multilingual, my Japanese isn't very good but the staff was able to communicate in English and help me find tickets that I ordered online. Our plane was also late coming in but we were able to arrange self check-in for when we arrived and sorted out the details in the morning. Thank you again!

My Place is unquestionably the best hostel in Naha. It’s my third time choosing to stay here between side trips to surrounding islands, I love it here, and wouldn’t stay any place else! The staff is fabulously kind, warm, caring, and intent on making the guests experience on Okinawa the best it can be. They are extremely helpful with travel details and recommendations, and helping in any way possible to get oriented in Japan. I find where the staff is amazing, so are the guests, which is certainly true for My Place. I am so grateful to have landed here, it feels like home. Additionally, they have an entire business center work space set up for the digital nomad that is impressive

This is a clean, economical place to stay, and particularly convenient for guests planning to use the nearby ferries for various excursions. However, other travelers should note that My Place can seem a bit isolated, particularly on winter nights when its immediate area can seem desolate. Though a 24-hour convenience store is down the road, the facility did not feel particularly close to restaurants, other retail locations, metro stops, etc. The hostel includes two buildings next to each other. A smaller one features space for check-in, communal cooking and dining, laundry equipment, vending machines, and workspaces -- including free wifi. The larger three-story building houses the actual rooms and bathing facilities, but no elevators. This separation of buildings partly reinforces the feeling of isolation on winter nights, particularly since the check-in desk may not be staffed after certain hours.
