Tips & Advice
- If you aren't staying at the hotel, wait until December to visit, because entry throughout November is for hotel guests only.
- Park in the flat lot in front of the hotel instead of on nearby streets, and eat at the restaurant to make your parking free.
- Time your walk along the poolside path so you reach Ryukyu Castle for the light and sound show, which starts every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour.
- Book a suite if you want to see the center pool's floating snowflakes up close, since center-pool entry is a suite benefit and those lights start in early December.
- Check the weather before you set out, because the illumination display or lighting may be canceled when the weather is bad.
