Vessel Hotel Development Co., Ltd. (Head office: 3-4-27 Minamihonjo, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President and CEO: Seo Yoshiro; hereinafter referred to as Vessel Hotels), which operates hotels nationwide with the vision of "We love you, your family, and this city. Lequ Okinawa Chatan Spa ＆ Resort," supervised by hotel critic Takizawa Nobuaki, on Saturday, July 12, 2025, after renovations.
This renovation includes many improvements to the open-air outdoor space and balcony area. After thoroughly warming up your body in the outdoor barrel sauna, which is large enough for four people to relax in, you can cool down while feeling the Okinawan breeze. In addition to the completely private infinity pool and Jacuzzi, we have also added a new foldable single-person bathtub. You can enjoy a cold bath in your preferred style. We have also installed a new commercial ice maker, which allows you to adjust the water temperature in the cold bath to your liking, allowing you to truly pursue your own unique "totonoi" experience. Enjoy the sauna-cold bath-open-air bath routine to your heart's content on the spacious terrace.

A leading Japanese hotel critic, Nobuaki Takizawa has overseen the creation of a second special room at the Lequ Okinawa Chatan Spa ＆ Resort in Okinawa, following the BABA Suite at VESSEL INN TAKADANOBABA STATION, based on extensive interviews and research from a guest's perspective. This time, the room will be an "experience-based suite" that thoroughly pursues guest comfort and design, incorporating a number of "hotel industry-first" facilities and items.

~A must-see for sauna fans! Turn your balcony into a relaxing space~
■ Foldable bathtub installation
A single-person bathtub is installed on the balcony. Simply unfold the foldable bathtub and add water and ice to easily enjoy a full-fledged cold bath.

■ Install commercial ice makers
A cold bath is an essential part of any sauna enthusiast's experience. To achieve the ideal water temperature, we installed a commercial ice maker that can consistently supply sufficient ice. Five scoops of ice (150 liters of water) will reduce the temperature by approximately 1°C. Simply use the scoop to transfer the ice to the dedicated bucket and then pour it into the bathtub to easily enjoy a cold water bath. Because it is a commercial ice maker, a sufficient amount of ice can be continuously secured, allowing for a comfortable cooling down experience.

■ Okinawa's popular "Blue Seal Ice Cream" is available free of charge
After a relaxing sauna session, refresh yourself with some cool sweets. We offer six varieties, totaling 36 sweets, including Okinawan flavors like salted chinsuko, shikuwasa, and purple sweet potato, as well as classic favorites. Enjoy a blissful post-sauna moment with some ice cream.
