About Tour Guide Tateo U.
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.

“A Knowledgeable and Accommodating Guide”
Our primary goal in hiring Tateo was to obtain more information about our Okinawan family before they emigrated to the U.S. in the early 20th century. Tateo patiently dealt with local authorities as we tried to obtain documentation, later taking care to find my aunt's name on a granite memorial at the Peace Memorial Park, taking initiative to make rubbings of her name as a memento. Understanding our interest in history and culture, he took us to many historical sites, both of the kingdom and WW II, pointing out construction details of castle walls,palaces and military fortifications. We are very appreciative of how generous he was, sharing his knowledge and accommodating our interests.

Hi, Patricia H. It is my great pleasure to be able to guide people with a connection to OKinawa and help them understand the island better. I was also surprised to see that your husband had planned everything out. Now, take the opportunity to further strengthen your ties with Nagusuku & Okinawa and prepare for the future. Finally, thank you for your positive review. Regards Tateo U.

“War Excursion”
Tateo was helpful showing us different war sites of World War II. He was very kind to take us back to our hotel. He took us to the market place to show us what that looked like when I mentioned it.

“Excellent Tour of Key Battlefield Sites”
We only had a few hours to spend in Okinawa but Tateo met us at the cruise terminal and took us to as many of the key battlefield sites as possible. Tateospeaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable. I only wish that we could have taken a longer tour with him. Highly recommended.

Today, we had really good weather for the first time in a while. It was a tour of the history of WW2 and Okinawa.The post war cleanup in Okinawa will continue for some time yet. However, there are other great places to visit. Please come back and remember this small island someday. Finally, thank you very much for positive review. Best regards. Tateo u.
