What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
a quietly secluded villa-style resort on the point of its own peninsula, tucked into a wooded area that separates it from the town.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Ginoza's tranquil east coast offers a slower rhythm, with secluded shoreline walks and clear night skies away from busy resort strips.
The rooms
Every accommodation features a private outdoor terrace with an open-air jet bath looking directly across the Pacific.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Covered daybeds line the oceanfront infinity pool, which looks out over the Pacific from the water's edge.
The spa
Treatment rooms look out over coastal greenery, and botanical bodywork uses oils blended to match lunar phases.
French Restaurant
Double-height windows look straight out to sea. Dinner menus apply classic French technique to subtropical Okinawan produce.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
