Okinawa Main Island Private Tour Guides

“Tateo is a Dedicated True Expert Guide and Okinawan”

Tateo was the perfect guide who knew the first person inside stories of Okinawa. I have never heard such perfect colloquial English from any Japanese national. He’s a living treasure. I would highly recommend him to all.

The locations you chose was not typical tourist destinations but a special place essential for reporting on Okinawa during and after the war. I would be happy if this tour becomes on essential part of the story, you write. Please come back to this island sometime to relax. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to write review. Regards Tateo U.

“Very informative and interesting tour of Okinawa”

We are very happy with our guide, Tateo, and highly recommend him. He is quite knowledgeable about Okinawa and shared lots of interesting information with us throughout the tour. He was very thorough and listened to what we are interested in, and we feel like we gained a friend.

I would be happy if you, who are half Japanese have discovered Okinawa you didn't know about. There are still many parts of Okinawa that haven't been introduced yet. Please visit Okinawa again with your husband someday. Finally, thank you for writing such a positive review. Best Regards, Tateo U.

“An unforgettable experience in Okinawa.”

An extraordinary 3 day’s in Okinawa that became a highlight of our entire three‑week trip to Japan. Our guide was consistently punctual, deeply knowledgeable, and remarkably flexible in shaping the day around our interests and energy levels. The level of care and humility he showed—especially toward my nearly 80‑year‑old mother‑in‑law—made the experience feel personal and genuinely supportive. He encouraged her at every stop, adjusted the pace when needed, and shared plenty of laughs with us about how many stairs we managed to conquer together. His understanding of Okinawa’s WWII history was exceptional. He explained complex events with clarity, respect, and emotional depth, helping us appreciate the significance of each site we visited. The stories he shared added meaning far beyond what we could have learned on our own. Every arrangement was smooth and comfortable, and the day balanced fun, learning, and relaxation perfectly. It was easily the most enjoyable and memorable day’s of our entire visit to Japan. Anyone looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, kind, humorous, and truly attentive will be in excellent hands. Thanks Harry-san.

Dear Allan-san, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. It truly means a great deal to me. It was a real privilege to spend those three days with you and your family. I especially appreciated the time we shared exploring Okinawa’s history together. Your deep interest in WWII sites and the perspectives you brought from your travels around the world made the experience even more meaningful for me as well. I learned a great deal alongside you, and it reminded me how much there is still to discover. I was also very happy to spend time with your mother-in-law. Her positive spirit and determination were truly inspiring, and I will always remember the moments we shared along the way. One day, I hope to follow in your footsteps and visit the islands of the South Pacific to further deepen my own understanding of history. Our time together has certainly encouraged me to do so. Thank you again for your kindness and for making these days so memorable. I hope to welcome you back to Okinawa—and perhaps Yomitan—again in the future. Warm regards, Harry
