“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.

Thank you for your impression of the day. Your message is so nice. I appreciate it. It was a great day and I also learned a lot. Thank you, Arigato gozaimashita.

“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

“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.
