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.

“Peace Memorial Museum, Okinawa World, Navy Underground Headquarter, Syurijyo Castle & Kokusai St.”
First, we want to give Tateo a Big Thank You for a great, fun-filled packed day! We visited 5 sites which included Syurijyo Castle that Tateo added for us. Tateo is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Okinawa and its history. His English is very good which he taught himself! He smoothly and with lots of energy got us to all our sites including arriving in time for an Okinawa traditional dance-Eisa at Okinawa World which was mesmerizing! Be sure to include this on your list! We highly recommend Tateo and would request him again if we return to Okinawa.

When I learned your last name was OSHIRO, it meant " big castle" and wanted to show you around SYURIJYO CASTLE. The other places we visited together are all well-known tourist spots in Okinawa. There are also various tourist attractions in the Northen and central regions of Okinawa. Please come to this small island again someday. I know you're busy but thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review.

“An Amazing and Knowledgeable Tour Guide – Highly Recommended! ”
We had a wonderful experience with Tateo as our tour guide in Okinawa! Despite having a large group of 30 people, he was friendly, patient, and professional. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Okinawa’s history, especially during our WWII historical tour. His engaging storytelling made the experience meaningful and memorable for everyone. He is very accommodating, and his English is excellent!! We were truly amazed to learn that he taught himself English! Really impressive! Highly recommended!

It had been raining continuously due to typhoon. However, we were blessed with good weather on the day we toured together. I initially thought you were from the tour company, later, I found out the company was where you work. I was amazed at how you managed the tour, time allocation, food, and others. I hope this tour will motivate everyone to work at your company going forwards. Finally, thank you for taking the time to write such a wondaful review. Regards Tateo U.

“One day southern Okinawa tour”
Tateo was fantastic in guiding my wife and I through the historic sites of southern Okinawa. He even accommodated a last minute itinerary request to include a visit to Okinawa World without any issues. Tateo was patient and engaging throughout our tour and his car was clean and comfortable. Would definitely use Tateo again when returning to Okinawa!

Thanks to the perfect weather and two of your stamina for walking allow us to visit many places. The lunch you had at the fish market you chose beforehand was also excellent. I hope these happy memories will become a source of strength for the future. Finally, thank you for writing such a nice review. Regards Tateo U.
