Tour Important Information

By visiting a museum, a castle, and other unique spots with a knowledgeable English guide, you can learn deeply about Okinawan culture, nature, and history.

- Please bring enough amount of water to avoid a heat stroke.

- Wearing a hat and sunglasses, and putting sunscreen on are also recommended.

- Okinawa is still a cash-based society. It would be better to bring Japanese Yen as cash for purchasing lunch and souvenirs.

- Using public transportation is impossible for the tour. I strongly recommend using a rental car or hiring a taxi.

- Depending on the weather and traffic conditions, the schedule is subject to be modified.

Reviews

Harry-San SAVED our trip!

Our Karate tour in Okinawa was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the outstanding guidance of Harry-San. From the start, he went above and beyond—when our flight was delayed, he kindly arranged to pick us up at the airport, which immediately put us at ease. Harry-San is incredibly knowledgeable about Okinawan Karate and its rich cultural and historical context. His deep passion for the art and his local connections made every site feel authentic and special. We learned so much more than we expected, and it was all presented in a way that was engaging, respectful, and meaningful. During the tour, I accidentally dropped and broke my phone. Harry-San was quick to offer help, even pointing me toward reliable local phone repair shops. It was such a small gesture, but one that made a big difference in a stressful moment—just another example of how thoughtful and supportive he was throughout the entire experience. On top of all this, Harry-San is simply a joy to be around—friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making the tour memorable for everyone. If you're considering a Karate or cultural tour in Okinawa, I can’t recommend this experience—and especially Harry-San—highly enough

Fantastic Personalized Tour Created by Harry

This is my second visit to Okinawa to conduct research on kariyushi wear and my second time with Harry as a tour guide. As usual, Harry was amazing. He was so detail oriented when creating a personalized tour for me. He asked such insightful questions, took the time to search out the best places for me to check out, made some great suggestions, and arranged everything! I am so grateful to Harry for this thoughtfulness. If anyone reading this is ever in doubt, do not hesitate to book Harry for your guide - you will not regret it!

Dear Christen-san, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing me again—it was an honor to guide you for the second time. I truly appreciated the opportunity to support your research on kariyushi wear. Through the tour, I gained a deeper understanding of how Okinawan people view both Kariyushi and Aloha styles, which was very insightful for me as well. I hope our paths cross again on your next journey! —Harry
