“100% Personalized Okinawa Tour – Great Guide, & A Sacred UNESCO Site”

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Toku! If you are planning a trip to Okinawa, read our full review to see why we highly recommend him. After traveling around Japan for a few months, we decided to spend some time exploring Okinawa. Toku was incredibly fast to respond to our initial inquiry. He was completely punctual, which meant our itinerary went perfectly according to plan, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule. Here are a few key highlights from our experience: 1) Language & Communication: Toku speaks highly professional, advanced English. Since our Japanese is unfortunately very limited, this was a massive help and made communication seamless. 2)Professionalism & Flexibility: This is a 100% personalized tour. Toku was a superb host and tailored everything to our needs—he even agreed to meet us 30 minutes early so we could make the absolute most of our day. 3) Lunch: The tour includes a stop for lunch at a fantastic venue with a wide variety of food. As a pescetarian traveling with a meat lover (Dave), we always struggle to find places to eat. Toku took us to the perfect spot that catered to both of our diets. As a bonus, it was next to a souvenir shop, which provided a perfect end to the tour. 4) Transportation: We visited the north of the island, which requires about a two-hour drive from Naha City Center. While that might sound long, Toku filled the journey with insights and fun conversation, making the time fly by. The absolute highlight, was our trek into the "Spirits Forest." The forest is a powerful, sacred, and deeply captivating place. Everything is exceptionally well-organized and maintained. It is one of the most magnificent, sacred natural sites we have ever visited, and it is easy to see why it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Thank you very much, Toku. It was a true pleasure to meet you, and we wish you the best of luck! Ana Gonzalez and David Cummin Travel Writers & Content Creators Davana World Tour

I hope you have many more amazing adventures around the world. I wish you all the best with your travels and content creation, and I hope to see you again in Okinawa someday!

“Connecting to the soul of Okinawa”

We spent 2 wonderful days touring the island with Yuki. On the first day we went North to visit the Ocean Expo and Ryuku Village. Both were amazing experiences like no other. Yuki timed it perfectly so we were able to view the impressive display of marine life and get seats for the dolphin show. He did the same for us at the Ryuku Village where we saw a butterfly garden, the traditions of the village and ended with a powerful Taiko drumming performance. On the second day we went South where Yuki helped me connect to my family history at the Himeyuri war memorial and finished with a traditional Okinawan soba lunch. He took us to a perfect spot that we would never have found in our own. Yuki gave us everything we wanted during our 2 days. He even stopped at places we asked about along the way. Yuki was prompt, polite, flexible, funny, informative and helped us to connect with the Okinawan culture. Thank you Yuki for all the memories.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to me. ️ I also had an absolutely amazing two days with you. From Ocean Expo Park and Ryukyu Mura in the North, to Himeyuri Memorial and our delicious Okinawan soba lunch in the South, every moment was special. But honestly, it wasn’t just the places we visited. The conversations we had in the car, the laughs we shared, and all the little stops along the way made these two days unforgettable for me as well. I’m especially happy that I could help you connect with Okinawa and your family history. It was a very meaningful experience for me too. Thank you for trusting me to show you around Okinawa, and for being so open and easygoing throughout the two days. You helped make these two days just as special for me as I hope they were for you. I’ll always remember the wonderful memories we made together. I hope we can meet again in Okinawa someday!

“A perfect day ”

Yuki picked me up in my hotel at 9 am and at the end of an amazing day we said goodbye as great friends. We took the ferry to Zamami Island, rented scooters and Yuki showed me breathtaking scenery points and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We went snorkeling as well, what an experience. Just before returning the scooters (to catch the ferry back) we went for a quick swim to cool down and when ready to head back to the scooter rental shop I noticed I lost my scooter key in the ocean! So we went back in the water… and Yuki found the key on the ocean floor! What a day. Yuki is an amazing guy, great stories, great fun, and definitely a new friend. Highly recommended! If you come to Okinawa: Yuki is the guy, a rock star - so once again, Thank you Yuki!

Thanks a million for the kind words! Honestly, our day at Zamami was one for the books—and finding that scooter key in the ocean was definitely a total miracle! I’m so happy I could help make your trip special, and I truly feel like I made a great friend. Come back anytime.
