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.

Okinawa Main Island Tour Reviews

“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

“Amazing and friendly battlefield tour of Okinawa”
Harry is very knowledgeable, speaks English well, and is funny and kind. He took us in his car which was clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful lunch together of traditional Okinawan food.

Dear John, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a lot to me. I was honestly a bit worried after we condensed what was originally a two-day tour into one day and had to move at a faster pace in some parts. So hearing that you two still enjoyed the experience was a great relief and made me very happy. I also want to sincerely thank you for treating me to lunch. Sharing traditional Okinawan food together was definitely a wonderful moment, and I truly appreciated your generosity. More than anything, I really enjoyed our conversations throughout the day. Especially your story about sending Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” into space—it was fascinating! Thank you again for spending your day with me. I hope our paths cross again someday. Warmest regards, Harry
