Tracing the Front Line! - WWII Battle of Okinawa Tour
The Battle of Okinawa was one of the bloodiest ground warfare in WWII. When U.S. troops landed on Okinawa island on April 1, 1945, there was little counterattack contrary to their expectations. This was because the Japanese strategy was to build strong underground positions in the southern part of the island and turn the fight into an endurance contest. From this day, the 3 months of fierce battles embroiling citizens began. In this tour, we will trace the front line of the battle in 2 days.
Journey to the Birthplace! - Karate Heritage Tour

“Good guide”
Tateo was an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of Okinawa, but he might not be the ideal choice for YouTube videos, possibly due to his age.

“Highly recommended”
Tateo was a wonderful guide. He was responsive prior to the trip, offering tour customizations and accommodating additional people with limited notice. The rental car was clean (and air conditioning appreciated!). Tateo took us to interesting places, gave us insightful commentary that we wouldn't have learned without a guide, and was overall quite nice and helpful. We were in Okinawa on business, and this was a great day to pack in a lot of sightseeing in a short amount of time.

(75 reviews)Hi, Jodie S. Thank you for making time for sightseeing even though busy with work. It was nice to be able to introduce various aspects of this small island. There is a proverb in Japan that says what happens twice happens three times. There are still many places to see. I look forward to your third visit. Thank you very much for making time write such nice review. Please give my regards to both of your friend. Regards Tateo U.
“Amazing day with Tateo!!”
My family and I contacted Tateo for a tour in Okinawa. The day was amazing!!! We were able to get to know the culture about this beautiful island. My family and I got to know the history about Okinawa, we truly were surprised about how deep it went! Im really glad that we contacted Tateo for the tour. Him being a local made the experience more interesting, since he knows Okinawa by heart. It was also very convenient that he was able to move us around the island, since transportation in Okinawa is mainly by car. Amazing tour and we recommend his tour!!!
