“The best experience of Okinawa”

Noriko was a superb driver. She shared very interesting information about the history of Okinawa and took me to fascinating places. She was fun and highly respectful. An added bonus was 2 snorkeling experiences that were both fantastic. She tailored the days to suit my interests perfectly. I highly recommend her and would certainly use her again.

“Phenomenal!”

Harry is the best!…he has a philosophy of starting at the beginning and letting the story run until the end which is exactly what we did. From the first stop where the Marines landed all the way to the very end at the southern tip of Okinawa…he lets the brutal story of the Battle of Okinawa be told. One of the most amazing things is how Okinawa survived and grew in the 80 years…from complete devastation to a vibrant island Worth every yen!

Dear Carl-san, Thank you so much for your warm and thoughtful review! I’m truly happy to hear that the tour was meaningful and memorable for you. Okinawa today is a vibrant and beautiful island, but if you look carefully, you can still find traces and scars of the battle in many unexpected corners. For me, discovering these traces while also seeing how people rebuilt their lives and communities after the war is one of the most fascinating parts of exploring Okinawa. Thank you again for spending such a meaningful day with me. I hope the rest of your trip was just as exciting, with many more discoveries along the way! I truly hope our paths cross again someday. It would be a pleasure to show you another side of Okinawa, or Mt. Fuji! Best regards, Harry

“100% Personalized Okinawa Tour – Great Guide, & A Sacred UNESCO Site”

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Toku! If you are planning a trip to Okinawa, read our full review to see why we highly recommend him. After traveling around Japan for a few months, we decided to spend some time exploring Okinawa. Toku was incredibly fast to respond to our initial inquiry. He was completely punctual, which meant our itinerary went perfectly according to plan, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule. Here are a few key highlights from our experience: 1) Language & Communication: Toku speaks highly professional, advanced English. Since our Japanese is unfortunately very limited, this was a massive help and made communication seamless. 2)Professionalism & Flexibility: This is a 100% personalized tour. Toku was a superb host and tailored everything to our needs—he even agreed to meet us 30 minutes early so we could make the absolute most of our day. 3) Lunch: The tour includes a stop for lunch at a fantastic venue with a wide variety of food. As a pescetarian traveling with a meat lover (Dave), we always struggle to find places to eat. Toku took us to the perfect spot that catered to both of our diets. As a bonus, it was next to a souvenir shop, which provided a perfect end to the tour. 4) Transportation: We visited the north of the island, which requires about a two-hour drive from Naha City Center. While that might sound long, Toku filled the journey with insights and fun conversation, making the time fly by. The absolute highlight, was our trek into the "Spirits Forest." The forest is a powerful, sacred, and deeply captivating place. Everything is exceptionally well-organized and maintained. It is one of the most magnificent, sacred natural sites we have ever visited, and it is easy to see why it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Thank you very much, Toku. It was a true pleasure to meet you, and we wish you the best of luck! Ana Gonzalez and David Cummin Travel Writers & Content Creators Davana World Tour
