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.

“Fantastic day”
I could not have had a better guide to take me over Okinawa’s battlefields than Hero. His knowledge is encyclopaedic and is enriched by the perspective and context that come from his past experience in the Japanese millitary. It all made for a fascinating day. Hero is also really friendly and engaging, and he has a wonderful sense of humour. He willingly went the extra mile for me, taking me to a place I wanted to see that wasn’t on the itinerary after my scheduled tour was over. I will long remember my day with Hero and am so glad we met.

Thank you very much for the great review. I appreciated it. I also remember this tour with you forever, and hope to see you again somewhere in Japan. Hero

“Wonderful!”
Harry-san was outstanding. His tour of the Okinawa battlefields was extremely comprehensive, no doubt due to his detailed knowledge of the Okinawa campaign. He did not hesitate to take me to places that were off the beaten track or barely accessible. Harry is also very familiar with Okinawa’s long history and explained many aspects of it as we drove. On top of all this, Harry’s enthusiasm, friendliness and concern to ensure that the tour was memorable have left a deep impression. I cannot speak highly enough of Harry-san. He was superb in every way. I wish him all the very best for the future.

“Hero is the best! ”
Hero provided an excellent day of Okinawan travel and discovery. His knowledge of Okinawa history is unsurpassed. He explained every historical sight we visited very thoroughly. His 32 years of military experience enhanced our understanding of Okinawa history. Hero is a true professional who was accommodating of our needs. I would highly recommend him.
