Seaside Condominium Rana Chatan

Twelve self-catering condominiums at Mihama 3-4-7 place guests inside Chatan's American Village district, a five-minute walk from the curved seawall of Sunset Beach and the Ferris wheel that marks the waterfront.

Each unit runs as a proper apartment: full kitchen with kitchenware and microwave, washing machine and dryer, dining table, balcony or terrace with outdoor furniture. Private bathrooms include both bathtub and shower. The layout suits families staying long enough to cook and do laundry rather than move hotels every few nights.

Chatan sits between Naha and Okinawa City on Route 58, with Mihama's cluster of outlet shops and restaurants directly below. Kokusai Street is a 25-minute drive south; Cape Zanpa, Okinawa's northwest headland, is 20 minutes north.
