“Very satisfied”

Tateo was kind, knowledgeable, and correct, although i had some mistakes in calculating costs. But his smile didn't make me feel uncomfortable.

“Best tour ever.”

I am serious -Harry-San is the best. We have had many drivers. Harry stands out as the best. He is extremely knowledgable and very accommodating. He goes out of his way to ensure a fun and productive day. For example, we wanted to visit a known secluded beach to find shells and sea glass. He did not initially know where it was so he took the initiative to find it the day before to ensure he could find it on the day of our tour and to give us pointers. In fact, because of his scouting of the secluded beach he found an adjacent beach that was even better. In addition, we found Harry to be fun, honest, and personable. We would definite hire him again. Thank you Harry.

Dear Alton-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you two. I’m glad the extra scouting helped make the visit to the beaches even more enjoyable. And thank YOU for helping me discover such a hidden gem. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate your kind words. I would be thrilled to host you again! Thank you for choosing me as your guide in Okinawa. Warmest regards, Harry

“Aloha to the Max!”

Harry was an awesome guide since we landed. He was very flexible in what can be done as we hired him for 2 days. We enjoyed his knowledge and company so much we hired him another 2 days to show us around for total of 4 days. His English is very good as he lived in Hawaii for 3 years as a teacher, teaching High-school and College students. He teaches many subjects, but his specialty is chemistry which is cool, so he understands a lot about Geology as well and is able to explain many other aspects of Okinawa, not just history. We were able to visit the Okinawan archives and find out more about our family's genealogy. We found out we were Pechin Okinawan Samurai warrior family. Which was really cool as there were also historical documents about my Great Grandfather and his immigration back in the 1917. Harry would take us to local Okinawan restaurants which were incredibly delicious. And as a big treat we visited Ogimi village, which is a Blue Zone village that has the most centennials in the world. And we ate at Emi No Mise which serves the traditional Okinawan food that they eat to live a long long life. We visited Shuri Castle which was a treat and to me the best part is he took us to the Himeyuri Peace memorial where it honor the high-school girls who were nurses that tried to help during the Battle of Okinawa. It's such a solemn and sober feeling as more than half died during the war. Powerful monument. I truly appreciated understanding what happened. Harry is very knowledgeable and patient, very patient because he is a teacher as well and still teaches students. I appreciated him very much because my parents are in their 80s and move and think slower, hard of hearing too. And Harry understood. He is a good person, solid! Highly Recommend! A Kind person. I took both my parents and we really enjoyed ourselves Sincerely and Aloha, Aran Higa from Hawaii

Dear Aran-san, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review and for allowing me to guide you and your wonderful parents during your genealogy tour, Battle of Okinawa tour, and the Yambaru “Blue Zone” tour. I truly appreciate your family’s warm participation throughout all four days. I also learned a great deal from you—about Hawaiʻi, about Hawaiʻi Uchinanchu history, and about your and your family’s unique background. I truly admired how creative you are, and hearing your parents’ stories as lifelong educators was significant to me, as I was also a teacher. Our conversations were one of the highlights of the tour. Watching the three of you discover detailed records at the Okinawa Prefectural Library, and then visiting your ancestral village together—ending with that unforgettable view from the lookout—was a deeply moving moment. It felt like a powerful symbol of the long, proud journey of Hawaiʻi’s Okinawans. Mahalo for letting me be a small part of your family’s story. After we parted, I found myself wondering whether your monorail ride and drive to Churaumi Aquarium went smoothly. I hope the remainder of your trip was safe, comfortable, and filled with good memories. Please take good care, and I sincerely hope our paths cross again someday soon. Aloha and mahalo nui loa. Warmest regards, Harry
