Accommodation

Each participant is expected to book a room by oneself. The following places have a reasonable connection to the workshop venue. Please notice that the dates for the workshop lie in the high season in Okinawa. So, early reservation is recommended.

Okinawa Convention Center (the workshop site) offers a list of accommodations near the center. The closest are Laguna Garden Hotel, Culture Resort Festone, and Moon Ocean Ginowan Hotel & Residence. Hotel Noa is also close, but we couldn't find English information.
You may also find several hotel around Kokusaidori Street (Downtown of Okinawa), Naha City Bus Terminal, and Omoromachi Station. They have a public bus connection to Okinawa Convention Center from nearby bus stops, but please be reminded that the bus connection is sparse and it takes approximately 60 minutes.
