Luana Lea Karate Kaikan Mae

We spent eight days in Okinawa and stayed here for four nights. Although we didn’t bring much luggage for a short trip, as a family of three, we appreciated having amenities that allowed us to travel light. This place offers laundry detergent, a coffee machine, cooking utensils, and even basic seasonings—pretty much everything you need for daily life. The apartment is clean, modern, and spacious enough to fully open large suitcases. It also provided plenty of blankets and pillows, allowing us to choose what suited us best for a comfortable sleep. Located in a suburban area, there's a convenience store right across the street, a large supermarket about a 10-minute walk away, and a bus stop around 300 meters away. However, bus service is infrequent, so driving is more convenient. The apartment is next to a road, and although you can hear some traffic noise with the windows closed, it's not disruptive thanks to the quiet surroundings. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and the host was very responsive, resolving any issues promptly.

I travelled from UK. over 15 hours flying time alone. Luana Lea was literally home from home for me and the four friends I travelled with. Very clean and comfortable room and furnishings. I had no problems sleeping despite 8 hours jet-lag. Extra amenities such as the air-con, coffee maker, washing & tumble-dryer machines enabled me to relax from the second I walked into the apartment. I had an apartment all to myself but you could comfortably sleep four adults. More if you're willing to cram. There is a wet room with shower over a Japanese style bathtub (smaller than what we have in the UK). A separate toilet, a utility room with washer/dryer. The main living area is open plan bedroom, lounge ad kitchen. There are sliding doors which can be used to separate the bedroom from the lounge and kitchen. There is also a balcony overlooking the main street. Outside noise pollution is minimal. The two aircon units within the apartment are probably louder than the noise outside, and they are not particularly loud even at night time (not for me anyway). There is no staff on site. Entry to the building is by key code and there is a key safe for each apartment. I went to Okinawa for a karate festival. If that's your thing, Luana is located exactly 6 mins walk from the main Karate Kaikan. Opposite the apartment block, there is bus stop to Naha central, and a Seven-Eleven convenience store. An Uber taxi to and from Naha airport only cost me £8 each way for the 16 min drive. The location is just perfect. I hope to be back in Okinawa again in two years time. I'll be booking my place here six months in advance to ensure I get an apartment. It was perfect

It was nice and roomy with a great set up. We loved having a washer and dryer as well as kitchenette. It was a convenient location. The place was clean and inviting. The owner was very kind and accommodating.

The room is well-equipped, and you can find the owners' thoughtful little details.

We like the amenities that the location provides including fridge, washer, dryer and cooking appliances.
