Okinawa Main Island Private Tour Guides

“Couldn’t ask for a better guide ”

I want to thank Tateo for the best experience I ever had with a personal tour guide around this wonderful island. Tateo was so awesome on our first tour we booked him 2 days later for another tour to explore other parts of the island. Tateo goes above and beyond and you can see the passion within him of what he does to make this experience for others unforgettable. Those 2 days together will always be with me and once again thank you. If you want to explore and learn the fascinating facts of this beautiful island, culture and sights, Tateo is your man.

Both of 2-day tours had to be booked the day before, which was a tight schedule. However, I think we were able to fully explore the best both southern and northern Okinawa. We were really blessed with good weather and the color of the sea seemed even more beautiful. I hope this tour will be a good memory for you forever. Thank you for your positive evaluation. give my best regard to your friend. Regards Tateo U.

“Excellent Historic Tour Across Okinawa ”

I thoroughly enjoyed tracing the Battle of Okinawa with Harry-san. His deep knowledge of both the war and the island brought the events to life in a vivid and respectful way. I was most impressed by how Harry-san seamlessly connected the military history with the cultural legacy of the Ryukyuu Kingdom and its people. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a thoughtful and immersive historical experience.

Dear Samuel-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure to guide you through the historic battlefields and war memorials of Okinawa, and to share the stories behind them. I also had a great time exchanging insights with you and learning about the historical similarities and differences between the UK and Japan/Okinawa. Your thoughtful perspectives made the tour even more meaningful. I hope to have the chance to welcome you back to Okinawa again in the future! Best regards, Harry

“Absolutely the best !!”

My wife and I were on a group tour to Tokyo, Kyushu and Okinawa and I wanted to specifically visit some Karate sites while in Okinawa since my late Sensei grew up in Okinawa and taught Karate there before coming to the USA. So, we booked a separate tour with GoWithGuide and Tateo U. to visit these Okinawan karate sites. Our tour guide Tateo U. was absolutely outstanding from the moment we met him in the hotel lobby. Tateo U. was extremely personable, and well prepared. I believe he even visited all of the sites that we wish to visit prior to taking us. He even contacted all of the sensei(s) who I wanted to meet. In my mind, that is going "above and beyond" the call of duty. What also impressed me is that at the end of our tour time Tateo U. walked with me to show me the way to one of the sensei's dojos because the dojo did not open until later that night and after the tour had ended. I mentioned to Tateo U. that if we ever have the opportunity to visit Okinawa again or if we have friends who plan on visiting Okinawa, we will highly recommend that they contact Tateo U. and GetWithGuide to receive the absolute best service available. Tateo U. is absolutely the Best !! Thank you GoWithGuide and a ton of gratitude to Tateo U. Absolutely fantastic and a tour and tour guide that made our visit memorable. With my highest regards for Tateo U. and GoWithGuide Don and Vicki M. Seattle, Washington USA

This tour was not typical sightseeing tour but a tour of the world of Karate that deeply connected you to Okinawa. The tour itself was trip to visit Karate masters, Dojo, and Monuments of famous ancestors. I am also pleased to have been able to introduce you to the teachers who were connected to your teacher in America and to the sympathy of the same style. I hope that this tour will remain cherished memory for you even after you return home. Your deep feelings for Karate really touched me. If you ever come to Okinawa again, please let me know. Thank you for your wonderful review at the end. Best Regards Tateo U.
