Okinawa Main Island Private Tours

“Peace Memorial Museum, Okinawa World, Navy Underground Headquarter, Syurijyo Castle & Kokusai St.”

First, we want to give Tateo a Big Thank You for a great, fun-filled packed day! We visited 5 sites which included Syurijyo Castle that Tateo added for us. Tateo is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Okinawa and its history. His English is very good which he taught himself! He smoothly and with lots of energy got us to all our sites including arriving in time for an Okinawa traditional dance-Eisa at Okinawa World which was mesmerizing! Be sure to include this on your list! We highly recommend Tateo and would request him again if we return to Okinawa.

When I learned your last name was OSHIRO, it meant " big castle" and wanted to show you around SYURIJYO CASTLE. The other places we visited together are all well-known tourist spots in Okinawa. There are also various tourist attractions in the Northen and central regions of Okinawa. Please come to this small island again someday. I know you're busy but thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review.

“An Amazing and Knowledgeable Tour Guide – Highly Recommended! ”

We had a wonderful experience with Tateo as our tour guide in Okinawa! Despite having a large group of 30 people, he was friendly, patient, and professional. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Okinawa’s history, especially during our WWII historical tour. His engaging storytelling made the experience meaningful and memorable for everyone. He is very accommodating, and his English is excellent!! We were truly amazed to learn that he taught himself English! Really impressive! Highly recommended!

It had been raining continuously due to typhoon. However, we were blessed with good weather on the day we toured together. I initially thought you were from the tour company, later, I found out the company was where you work. I was amazed at how you managed the tour, time allocation, food, and others. I hope this tour will motivate everyone to work at your company going forwards. Finally, thank you for taking the time to write such a wondaful review. Regards Tateo U.

“Noriko is the best at what she does!”

I am very glad I booked a tour with Noriko which taught me so much about wartime in Okinawa during WWII. Even during the drive she had a vast amount of insight into the places we were passing and modern life in Okinawa, which prepared me for going back in time to perhaps the Ryukuan's darkest period. It was heartbreaking to read the testimonies of survivors who had to experience such horrors that would haunt them forever. After the peace museum and walking the rows and rows of reported casualties, we went to a true treat of a restaurant that was a house built in 1891 that actually survived the war and had bullet holes still in some of the walls. You may sit at a table or a chabudai with tatami mats which is more traditional and a great combination to the eating experience. I'm quite glad I hired Noriko otherwise I would not have found such a great spot! Next, we went to Okinawa world at my request and saw live performances, many of Okinawa's plant and animal inhabitants, and even a 300,000 year old cave 890m long! It was pretty quick to see all of this so we even went to a WWII bunker and finished off the day learning a bit more about history. Anyone looking to learn a ton about Okinawa's history during this time would be wise to hire Noriko! Her english is excellent and she really fills the day out with a lot of great educational sights to see.
