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 World ”
Noriko was fantastic. So knowledgeable and flexible. It was very hot, so after visiting Shuri Castle, she on the spot designed an itinerary that would help beat the heat. We saw the cave and the cultural exhibits at Okinawa World which was an excellent experience then had a fun sushi lunch. I highly recommend her services! Thanks for a great day!

“Fantastic tour with Harry!”
I had a one day tour with Harry on a very hot and humid day. Harry was so kind and thoughtful and adjusted the schedule to accommodate the heat on the spot. He was very knowledgeable about the history and cultural relevance of all the places we went to. I learned so much about Okinawa's history just in one day and as someone who practices and teaches history for a living, I really appreciated the time and care that Harry takes in creating a meaningful experience. I was in Okinawa to conduct research and Harry even had suggestions for me that proved to be very helpful. I can't recommend Harry enough and when I return, am looking forward to another tour with him. Please do yourself a favor and book your tour with Harry! Thank you so much, Harry!

(8 reviews)Thank you very much for your review, Christine-san. It was definitely a hot and humid day so we could feel the effectiveness of Okinawan-style "Zenzai!" I hope your research in Okinawa went well and you could acquire enough information to write your book. If there is something I can help with your project from here in Okinawa, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to seeing you again!

“Best of Okinawa with Tateo!”
Tateo was the best part of our visit to Okinawa! My sister, daughter and I enjoyed our tour so much, we talked about it all night and still do with the rest of our families. We had so many questions, and thanks to Tateo he shared his knowledge and helped us better understand its history and culture. Tateo made us feel like family. My mother was Okinawan. But unfortunately she never had the opportunity to visit and that saddens us. So in her place we had the urge to visit and educate ourselves about our ancestry. Okinawa was charming and we enjoyed our visit immensely. Thank you Tateo for being so kind and for a wonderful day! Sincerely, Doretta, Pam and Shelby

(72 reviews)Hi, D0retta B. Your e-mail and picture you sent brought me June 20th to mind again. Althought it was only one day, it was a day that a deep impression on each of you. If you have a alter at home show photos to your mother, she will be happy. While I was a guide, it felt like I was traveling with people close to me rather than Americans. Please use this trip as inspiration and do your best in the future. Come and see Okinawa again. Thank you for writing great review at the end. Best regards Tateo U.
