Okinawa Main Island Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Aloha to the Max!”

Harry was an awesome guide since we landed. He was very flexible in what can be done as we hired him for 2 days. We enjoyed his knowledge and company so much we hired him another 2 days to show us around for total of 4 days. His English is very good as he lived in Hawaii for 3 years as a teacher, teaching High-school and College students. He teaches many subjects, but his specialty is chemistry which is cool, so he understands a lot about Geology as well and is able to explain many other aspects of Okinawa, not just history. We were able to visit the Okinawan archives and find out more about our family's genealogy. We found out we were Pechin Okinawan Samurai warrior family. Which was really cool as there were also historical documents about my Great Grandfather and his immigration back in the 1917. Harry would take us to local Okinawan restaurants which were incredibly delicious. And as a big treat we visited Ogimi village, which is a Blue Zone village that has the most centennials in the world. And we ate at Emi No Mise which serves the traditional Okinawan food that they eat to live a long long life. We visited Shuri Castle which was a treat and to me the best part is he took us to the Himeyuri Peace memorial where it honor the high-school girls who were nurses that tried to help during the Battle of Okinawa. It's such a solemn and sober feeling as more than half died during the war. Powerful monument. I truly appreciated understanding what happened. Harry is very knowledgeable and patient, very patient because he is a teacher as well and still teaches students. I appreciated him very much because my parents are in their 80s and move and think slower, hard of hearing too. And Harry understood. He is a good person, solid! Highly Recommend! A Kind person. I took both my parents and we really enjoyed ourselves Sincerely and Aloha, Aran Higa from Hawaii

“Wonderful experience ”

Harry provided a wonderful experience on this tour. He is a wealth of information on the history of not only the castle but also of general things in Okinawa. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour and would not hesitate to book with him again should I ever find myself in Okinawa again. Mahalo nui loa Harry !

“Okinawa Day Tour”

Our guide,Tateo was spectacular. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and culture, making every stop come to life. For our first time in Okinawa he made the history so interesting and explained everything in great detail but yet not over the top and we came away with so much information. He was very helpful answering our questions carefully. English was very good. He provided exactly the sites we wnated to see.

Thank you for choosing me as your guide for limited time sightseeing in Okinawa. Also, every place we visited was important and couldn't be omitted. This island is small but there are still many places I would like to introduce, so please come back and check it out. Finally, thank you for writing a wonderful review. Regards Tateo U.
