"Sachibaru Yadui" is located on a slope overlooking the sea in Nanjo City, Okinawa.
Sachibaru Yadui is a spot where cafes, accommodations, and relaxation salons are scattered throughout a lush garden, including "Hamabe no Chaya," a cafe with a spectacular view that is representative of Okinawa.

In the 1700s, during the Ryukyu Kingdom era, samurai who had left Shuri cleared the lush, green land as a "new frontier" and established a settlement, marking the beginning of this area. Time passed, and in 1994, Nobuyoshi Inafuku, a descendant of the samurai, opened "Hamabe no Chaya" (Seaside Teahouse) on the land his ancestors had established. Since then, under the theme of "land polishing," Sachibaru Yadui has been creating spaces that utilize elements rooted in the local land.

In the tranquil natural surroundings of Nanjo City, you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a peaceful Okinawan lifestyle.

1. Enjoy a peaceful time and breathtaking views at "Sachibaru Garden".

"Sachibaru Garden" is a garden known as the "Field of Happiness" that is open free of charge to those who use the cafe, accommodation, or salon at Sachibaru Yardui.
Although it's called a "garden," it's not the flat kind you might typically imagine; the key feature is that it's a "three-dimensional garden" that leads up to a small hill.
There are various points of interest along the path as you stroll from bottom to top, and an observation deck is located at the very top.
Along the way, the plants and flowers sway gently in the wind, and when you turn around, the blue sea of ​​Nanjo City stretches out before you. This scenery is so soothing.
The "Ocean Observation Deck," located roughly halfway along the trail, is a great spot to take a break, offering ocean views from a long, narrow counter table. The journey was more strenuous than expected for someone out of shape, so this was a good place to rest.
After recovering my energy, I headed to the observation deck, which boasts a superb location offering panoramic views of the sea, Oujima Island, and Itoman City from a high vantage point! I relaxed in the shade of the trees and thoroughly enjoyed the scenery.
By the way, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to walk from the bottom to the top. When strolling around, sneakers or other comfortable shoes are recommended!

2. Sachibaru Yadui's Retreat Spot

① Cafes "Hamabe no Chaya" and "Yama no Chaya Rakusui"

Inside Sachibaru Yadui, there are two cafes: Hamabe no Chaya and Yama no Chaya Rakusui.

"Hamabe no Chaya" is a well-known cafe in Okinawa that boasts spectacular views. The charm of Hamabe no Chaya lies in the fact that you can enjoy a view of the gently lapping ocean waves from the double-hung windows in front of the counter.
Enjoying food, desserts, and drinks while gazing at this view is simply the best! Opened in 1994, this cafe has consistently been at the top of the list of "cafes with spectacular views," and is a must-visit spot if you're in Okinawa.
"Yama no Chaya Rakusui" is a hidden gem of a cafe nestled on a hillside surrounded by greenery. In stark contrast to the ocean resort atmosphere of Hamabe no Chaya, it boasts a location surrounded by lush greenery.
What's most striking is how the back wall utilizes a "giant rock." This visually stunning presentation, which makes use of the original terrain, creates a truly unique atmosphere.
Here you can enjoy Okinawan cuisine and pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. Although surrounded by greenery, its location on a hill means that some seats offer ocean views, which is another highlight.
At the beachside teahouse, you can enjoy close-up ocean views, while at the mountain teahouse Rakusui, you can enjoy the expansive ocean view from a higher vantage point.

②. Accommodation facilities: "Villa Sachibaru" and "Mountain Hut"

Sachibaru Yardui offers two main types of accommodations: Villa Sachibaru and mountain lodges.
Villa Sachibaru consists of three buildings: A, B, and C. Each building is characterized by large windows that create a sense of openness. These villas offer ocean views from the comfort of your room.
The rooms themselves are of impeccable quality. The clean interiors are so comfortable that you might hesitate to leave. This is a place where you can forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the luxury of doing nothing.
The "mountain cabin" is notable for its location surrounded by greenery. You'll be drawn to its atmospheric appearance, which is reminiscent of a setting from a Ghibli film.
What both accommodations have in common is that you can fully experience nature. The sounds of insects and animals, the rustling of plants in the wind, the sound of waves—these harmonize to create a beautiful tapestry of natural sounds. These accommodations allow you to harmonize with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, leaving your soul feeling refreshed.

③. Relaxation salon "AMAMIKIYO"

"AMAMIKIYO" is a relaxation salon located in the middle of a forest. In a location surrounded by nature, you can experience body treatments that will refresh your body.
AMAMIKIYO's commitment to quality is evident in their use of "Okinawan ginger lily oil" during treatments. The fact that they serve one client at a time, allowing you to enjoy this environment all to yourself, is also a major draw.

Final thoughts

Sachibaru Yadui has continued to evolve, starting with the opening of a beachside tea house in 1994, and expanding to include accommodation and relaxation services. The hospitality received in a setting in harmony with nature is comforting, leaving you with a feeling of fulfillment and well-being.
Please do visit Sachibaru's garden to find some peace and tranquility.
