With the growing interest in immunity these days, getting enough good sleep is attracting attention.
“Kwansou”, which is called “Niibui grass (sleeping grass)” in Okinawa, will reach the flowering season in autumn.
Experience a rich sleep on Taketomi Island, where the island time flows.
“Niibui Afternoon Tea” using Niibui grass
“Niibui grass”, which is popular in Okinawa, is Nuchigusa * 1, which is said to have been decocted and drunk when you couldn’t sleep.
In addition to the herbal tea of rush, tartine, blancmange, and cream puffs are mixed with rush, and we offer “Niibui Afternoon Tea” that invites you to sleep.
＊1 Vegetables and herbs that have been incorporated into daily life to maintain the health of the people of the island.
“Tofunuyu *2 hot pot” where you can eat island vegetables and pork with soy milk soup stock
We offer “Tofunuyu hot pot” where you can eat island vegetables and pork with soy milk soup stock.
Eating breakfast will awaken your body, and chewing well will activate your nerves.
*2 In the Okinawan dialect, it means “soy milk hot water”.
“Shimakaze Power Walk” to move your body firmly
“Power walk” is one of the health methods to walk fast with your whole body, stepping firmly on the ground with the soles of your feet while swinging your arms.
Starting from Hoshinoya Taketomi Island, walking with your whole body while gazing at the cityscape where the original scenery of Okinawa remains gives your body moderate fatigue to lead to a good night’s sleep.
Two types of stretches that give a sharp impression in the morning and at night
Stretching is done in the morning and at night according to each time.
In the morning “Yonna *3 deep breath”, you move your body based on a slow deep breath on the beach where the rising sun rises.
“Tinnu *4 Deep Breath” at night is a gentle pace stretch that calms the mind before going to bed under the shining stars and the night sky of the moon.
Adjust your body clock by creating regular habits with a sharp morning and night.
*3*4 In the Okinawan dialect, “Yonna” is “slowly”. “Tinnu” means “in the sky”.
Take a nap with a spa treatment and chair mock that invites you to a good night’s sleep
Spend a dreamy time through spa treatments in a private space with a red tile roof.
You can relax deeply with the scent of the aroma oil of the island material.
