Tracing the Front Line! - WWII Battle of Okinawa Tour
The Battle of Okinawa was one of the bloodiest ground warfare in WWII. When U.S. troops landed on Okinawa island on April 1, 1945, there was little counterattack contrary to their expectations. This was because the Japanese strategy was to build strong underground positions in the southern part of the island and turn the fight into an endurance contest. From this day, the 3 months of fierce battles embroiling citizens began. In this tour, we will trace the front line of the battle in 2 days.

Okinawa Main Island Tour Reviews
Carl S.
“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!

“Tour on the north”
Noriko was very Thoughtful, punctual, and friendly. She took us around the north area of Okinawa, visiting the places we wanted to see and telling us histories about Okinawa its culture, its people and its relations with the mainland and China. We are very happy with the tour she gave us.
