My name is Tateo. I am officially registerd English tour guide and introducing about Okinawa's history,culture, and nature.I am elderly person but have gone through lots of expericences that happened during US occupation after WW2. For the example, change of monetary system(US dollar to Yen),Change of traffic regulation(driving vehicle from right to left).The reversion of Okinawa to main land Japan was biggest historical event.The US administered Okinawa for 27 years. As a result, thing were Americanized in many aspects. Historically, Okinawa was once independent nation until 1872.During Kingdum era, Okinawa actively traded with China, South Asia Countries, Korea, and Japan. In the end, our culture is quite differ much from main land Japan. For instance, architectural technique, daily customs, and culture are also unique. Okinawa is the only prefecture belong to subtropical climate zone. Even winter time, it's neither hot nor cold. People can enjoy marine sport all through the year.Canoeing, Kayaking, Diving, and Snorkeling are popular. Besides, beatiful white sand beaches and attractive coastline are abundant. Green sea water and blue sky have been lured people from all over the world. Traditional music and dance are worth seeing. Please visit Okinawa and enjoy extraordinary trip. I will be looking forward to seeing you soon.

Hi. I was a tour guide for Japanese speak in Japanese in main-land Japan around Tokyo. Now, I live in Okinawa for over ten years with my family. I wanted to be a tour guide for foreigners because I appreciate people's helps when I traveled around world. I traveled over seventy countries. I like traveling because I learn a lot from people who I meet. Finally, I got a certificate for being an English tour guide. I would like you to spend meaningful time in Okinawa. Okinawa has unique culture, they mixed Japanese and Chinese way, then, built up a new own culture. With limited time, I hope you enjoy seeing a lot and knowing a lot.

Hi, Mike & Diana Thank you for taking the time and to write a nice review. I'm sure you have researched Okinawa and become very familiar with it through the courses you took yourself and the courses we took together. I hope, share this story with your students and may the memories of your trip remain with forever. Thank you for the photo. Regards Tateo U.

“An informative tour and great learning experience.”
We had an excellent day out with Noriko. Noriko was an exceptional guide. She was very friendly, welcoming , pleasant and very knowledgable about our tour and Okinawa life in general. Even though the weather was raining and at times a little windy, this did not detract from the enjoyment of the tour and a great day out with Noriko. Noriko fulfilled our requirements of our tour and went that little extra to ensure we had an enjoyable day. Noriko’s command of the English language was excellent and we had no problems in understanding her and we enjoyed great conversations. We would highly recommend Noriko as your tour guide and we would have no hesitation to book her again if we return to Okinawa. Paul & Alison from England
