Tateo U.

My name is Tateo. I am officially registerd English tour guide and introducing about Okinawa's history,culture, and nature.I am elderly person but have gone through lots of expericences that happened during US occupation after WW2. For the example, change of monetary system(US dollar to Yen),Change of traffic regulation(driving vehicle from right to left).The reversion of Okinawa to main land Japan was biggest historical event.The US administered Okinawa for 27 years. As a result, thing were Americanized in many aspects. Historically, Okinawa was once independent nation until 1872.During Kingdum era, Okinawa actively traded with China, South Asia Countries, Korea, and Japan. In the end, our culture is quite differ much from main land Japan. For instance, architectural technique, daily customs, and culture are also unique. Okinawa is the only prefecture belong to subtropical climate zone. Even winter time, it's neither hot nor cold. People can enjoy marine sport all through the year.Canoeing, Kayaking, Diving, and Snorkeling are popular. Besides, beatiful white sand beaches and attractive coastline are abundant. Green sea water and blue sky have been lured people from all over the world. Traditional music and dance are worth seeing. Please visit Okinawa and enjoy extraordinary trip. I will be looking forward to seeing you soon.

"Chuuganabira" or "Hello" as we say here in Shuri! I'm Sara. My mother is Japanese from Nagasaki and my father is American from Pennsylvania. I spent my formative years between Japan and the U.S. giving me a naturally bicultural outlook and global sensibility. I am a hospitality professional with over 35 years of experience in Japan’s international hotel and tourism industries having held senior positions with world-renowned hotels. I've welcomed distinguished guests - from artists and actors and political leaders and celebrity chefs. I have also worked as a simultaneous interpreter for major Japanese organizations supporting large scale cultural and international events. I relocated from Tokyo to Naha in 2003 because I totally fell in love with this beautiful port city during my travels - the warm friendly people, delicious local food, rich history and culture and most of all the breathtaking turquoise ocean and magnificent blue sky. My passion is making people happy through "omotenashi" - the Japanese art of polite, thoughtful and respectful hospitality. I specialize in Shuri Castle tours and have insider access to Shuri Castle through my onsite research, membership in the Shuri Castle Friendship Association and a close relationship with both the castle's staff and the Okinawa Churashima Foundation which operates the castle. I also have deep ties with the descendants of the Sho royal family, offering rare insights into the history and culture of the Ryukyu Kingdom. I am looking forward to introducing you to the royal, majestic and fascinating world of Shuri!

Originally from Brazil with a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism, I spent five years studying and working in Toronto, Canada, before moving to my wife’s hometown of Okinawa in 2017. Today, Okinawa is home, where we’re raising our two daughters. Over the years, I’ve grown to love Okinawa not just as a beautiful place, but as a place I truly call home. As a local guide, active diver, and surfer, I enjoy sharing the island I know and love with people from around the world. I believe the best experiences are more than simply visiting famous places. They’re about sharing stories, trying local food, discovering beautiful scenery, having a few laughs, and seeing Okinawa through the eyes of someone who lives here. I love connecting with people from different countries and, hopefully, turning a day together into a great memory—and sometimes even a lasting friendship. Whether you’re interested in Okinawa’s history, culture, nature, food, or simply want to explore at your own pace, I’ll create an experience around what you enjoy. I’ll take care of the details so you can relax, have fun, and enjoy your time on the island. Come explore Okinawa with me, share a few stories, and experience the island like a local. I hope you’ll leave not only with great memories of Okinawa, but also with a new friend.

Maria A.

Hai-tai! Welcome to Okinawa! I’m Maria, a local Okinawan guide based in Shuri. I don’t just show you Okinawa. I help you understand the stories behind it, experience it like a local, and enjoy the day your way. Okinawa is more than beautiful beaches and tropical scenery. Behind the places you visit are stories of the Ryukyu Kingdom, sacred traditions, local food, island life, and the many cultures that shaped Okinawa into what it is today. I love bringing those stories to life in a way that is easy to understand, relaxed, and fun. Instead of simply giving you facts, I want you to understand why Okinawa is the way it is. Whether you’re interested in Ryukyu history, Shuri, sacred islands, local food, hidden spots, nature, Okinawan culture, nightlife, or simply want to experience something beyond the usual tourist route, tell me what you’re curious about and I’ll shape the experience around you. I’m also happy to adapt when plans change. Okinawa’s weather can be unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean your day has to be. We can adjust the itinerary and still make the most of your time here. Most importantly, I want our time together to feel natural. Ask questions, take your time, try something unexpected, or simply enjoy a good conversation. You don’t have to follow a rigid schedule to have a great Okinawa experience. Come as a visitor. Leave feeling that you’ve truly met Okinawa.

Victoria N.

My name is Victoria, and I’ve been living on Okinawa for 10 years. Would you like to visit non-touristy places known only to locals? I’ll be happy to show them to you! For more than six years, I’ve been guiding tours and sharing the beauty and atmosphere of this unique island with visitors. I love Japan — its culture, history, and anime — and I’m always excited to share not just facts, but the soul of this place. On my tours, you will see not only the famous landmarks, but also hidden, fascinating corners of the island that few people know about. With me, you will experience the real Okinawa: taste local cuisine, hear legends, learn traditions, and glimpse the everyday life of the islanders. I speak both English and Japanese, so I can help you feel confident and comfortable in any situation. If you want not just a tour, but a living journey with someone who is truly in love with Japan, I’ll be happy to guide you!

“Yuki, Thank You”

This was my wife's first visit back to her island, Okinawa in 42 years. Alot has changed, we visited her family's hometown, Shuri castle and a few other areas. The interaction was great we could not have done it without Yuki's help.

“One day southern Okinawa tour”

Tateo was fantastic in guiding my wife and I through the historic sites of southern Okinawa. He even accommodated a last minute itinerary request to include a visit to Okinawa World without any issues. Tateo was patient and engaging throughout our tour and his car was clean and comfortable. Would definitely use Tateo again when returning to Okinawa!

Thanks to the perfect weather and two of your stamina for walking allow us to visit many places. The lunch you had at the fish market you chose beforehand was also excellent. I hope these happy memories will become a source of strength for the future. Finally, thank you for writing such a nice review. Regards Tateo U.

“History and culture of Okinawa”

I spent a fantastic day visiting castles and shrines in Southern Okinawa with Yuki. He was knowledgeable, warm, flexible and attentive, I felt like I was shown around by a friend rather than touring with a guide. It was an additional delight to learn about Okinawan life and culture through his eyes, he’s well-traveled but clearly takes great pride in this island. Thank you Yuki!

Yuki H.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to me. I’m really happy that you enjoyed exploring Southern Okinawa with me and that I could share a little of Okinawan life and culture through my eyes. It was a pleasure spending the day with you. I hope to see you again in Okinawa someday!
