Okinawa Harborview Hotel to Host Summer-Limited Family Events at Its Renewed Garden Pool, Including a Kids' Mocktail-Making Experience

From Friday, July 17 to Monday, August 31, 2026, Okinawa Harborview Hotel (2-46 Izumizaki, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture) is holding a range of summer-limited events for the whole family, taking place throughout the hotel — from the garden pool to the buffet restaurant "プランタン" and beyond.

At the garden pool, renewed in June 2026, young hotel guests can take part in the "Tropical Kids' Mocktail Experience." The hotel is also offering a range of other family activities during the stay, including the hotel-wide "Find the Shisa!" event, a rock-paper-scissors game with staff, a kids-free offer at the buffet restaurant "プランタン," a candy scoop game, and an Instagram photo contest.

Tropical Kids' Mocktail Experience at the Renewed Garden Pool

For Hotel Guests Only: Make Your Own "Tropical Kids' Mocktail Experience"

Open to elementary-school-age children and younger, this experience lets kids make their own non-alcoholic cocktail using pineapple juice. After shaking their original drink like a bartender, they pour it into a fruit-shaped tumbler to complete the experience — and the tumbler is theirs to take home as a memento of the trip. Guests can join in swimwear before or after using the pool.

Schedule: Every Friday and Saturday, 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM (30 minutes)

Location: Poolside (held at "プランタン" if the pool is closed due to weather)

Eligibility and Capacity: Children up to age 12 / Limited to 10 children per day

Price: 2,000 yen per person (tax included)

Reservations and Payment: Accepted at the front desk or at "プランタン" (cash, credit card, or room charge)

Hotel-Wide Events to Enjoy During Your Stay (Find the Shisa! and Rock-Paper-Scissors)


Hotel-Wide Events (For Children of Elementary School Age and Younger)

Find the Shisa!: In this hands-on event, kids explore the hotel while searching for shisa statues hidden throughout the property. Guests who find three or more of the shisa that have watched over guests for 50 years — including the one at the main entrance — and show staff a photo taken with them receive a glow-in-the-dark bracelet that's fun to wear poolside at night, too.

For Hotel Guests Only, Rock-Paper-Scissors with Staff: A long-running favorite, this game lets guests play rock-paper-scissors with front desk and restaurant staff. Every round earns a sticker regardless of win or loss, and collecting three stickers can be exchanged for a prize at the front desk.

Restaurant Events (Kids-Free Offer, Candy Scoop Game, and Photo Contest)


"Kids Free" for Entry by 6:00 PM: For children of elementary school age or younger who enter by 6:00 PM, one child's buffet fee is waived per accompanying adult.

Offer Period: Friday, July 17 to Sunday, August 30, 2026 (Dinner service days: Thursday through Sunday)

Restaurant: Buffet restaurant "プランタン"

Dinner Hours: 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM (last order 9:30 PM)

Candy Scoop Game (Weekends Only): Children of elementary school age or younger who dine at "プランタン" on weekends can enjoy scooping up candy after their meal.

"My Own Original A-Lunch" Instagram Photo Contest

This Instagram photo contest is themed around "A-Lunch," a beloved Okinawan comfort food — a one-plate meal of meat, fried dishes, rice, and more that's a staple at restaurants across Okinawa. At the buffet restaurant "プランタン," children can freely arrange their own "Original A-Lunch" and submit a photo of it; winning entries will be selected from the submissions, and winners receive a lunch voucher.

Entry Period: Friday, July 17 to Monday, August 31

About Okinawa Harborview Hotel

Located in the heart of Naha City, Okinawa Harborview Hotel is an urban hotel that blends Okinawan tradition with modern sophistication. Since 2025, the hotel has been renewing its facilities — including guest rooms and restaurants — under the theme "Be Reborn," and this renewal has now been completed with the renewal of the garden pool. The new guest rooms have been reborn with a refined, modern design inspired by Ryukyu indigo and shell ginger, while the restaurants offer a variety of dishes that capture the flavors of "Okinawa today." In December of the same year, "Teppanyaki Izumizaki" opened as the only hotel restaurant in the prefecture certified as a designated Kobe beef retailer, serving both Okinawan branded beef and Kobe beef. The top floor also welcomed a new, special club lounge spanning 356 square meters — the largest of its kind in Naha City. Combining hospitality unique to Okinawa with a refined space that continues to evolve, the hotel offers guests a truly blissful stay.
