“Deep Dive to Okinawa: WWII Battle of Okinawa Tour + The Blue Zone Tour”

Harry is certainly one of the best guides you could hope for. Safe driver, punctual, always smiling, and absolutely knows his stuff. Not one question was unanswered. My tour was for 3 days (2 days WW11 Battles and 1 day Blue Zone and hiking). I experienced much more than I expected, nothing was rushed, and Harry knows the best and tastiest places to eat. My food highlight was in the Blue Zone... yesss very nice. Harry excels in his knowledge of WW11, plus his 2 days planning for this was spot on. I got to see and feel everything I knew of the battles and their locations... plus much more. I still think a lot about this. Oh yes, thanks to Harry's wife who gave me a nicely packaged of sweet treats (all eaten when I got home). Harry, thanks for looking after me, for giving me an experience I wanted for a decade or more, and making me feel so welcome in Okinawa. For all you travelers, if you are looking for a high quality guide make sure you give my new friend Harry a go. Can't go wrong with him. Maybe I see you again Harry for a Mt Fuji trek one day???

Dear Wayne-san, Thank you very much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. I truly appreciate your generous words. It was an absolute pleasure spending those three days with you. Our conversations were just as memorable for me as the sites we visited. I learned a great deal from hearing about your experiences around the world. Your stories were truly inspiring, and they have strengthened my own determination to one day explore the world—from Antarctica to the Amazon—just as you have. I am delighted to know that the tour met your expectations and that you were able to experience the battle sites in a meaningful way. That means a great deal to me. And I will be sure to share your kind words with my wife—she will be very happy to know the sweets were enjoyed! It would be my honor to guide you again—whether for a Mt. Fuji trek or to discover more hidden gems of Japan. I sincerely hope our paths cross again in the near future. Warmest regards, Harry

“Wonderful day!”

I had an amazing day with Noriko exploring the Naha area. Noriko was kind enough to pick me up and drop me off at my hotel in Chatan. I’m so thankful that I booked this tour as I don’t think I would be able to figure out how to get to all the various popular spots. It was so easy just to let Noriko drive and guide. I learned so much from Noriko - we talked about the history of Okinawa and also the present times. I learned a few Japanese words and a little about the local culture as well. Noriko was very flexible and accommodating when it came the itinerary and changing a scheduled lunch spot to something else. We visited a ramen place for lunch, which was delicious! My favorite part (and a must if you enjoy pottery) is to visit the pottery street near the markets in Naha. I will leave Okinawa with a wonderful and memorable experience because of the tour with Noriko. Thank you so much, Noriko, for the perfect day in Naha!

“Captivating Tour and tour guide! ”

I was visiting my son during the winter holidays and wanted to learn about Okinawa and WWII. I am so lucky to have selected Harry as our tour guide. Harry was in planning mode and in communication with me from the start. We planned a full 8+ hours which included many different historical sites and a museum. Harry is a former school teacher and really knows how to convey the history of Okinawa and the second world war. Harry also introduced us to the best lunch spot in Naha. He kept us engaged from 8am until the last minute of the tour. I highly recommend scheduling a tour with Harry!! Loved every minute! Best, Patty MacLaney

Thank you again and I wish you and your family all the best! Warm regards, Harry
