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.

Amazing Karate Tour!

Our "Journey to the Birthplace!" Karate Heritage Tour in Okinawa was genuinely an amazing experience for me and my kids ! Having them involved in karate for years, this tour truly brought their passion to life right here where it all began. Our guide, Harry, was absolutely brilliant. He kicked things off with a super fun, interactive trivia session that got everyone engaged ! Harry is incredibly knowledgeable and handled every single one of our questions with insightful answers. He took us to all the significant historic places across Okinawa, sharing fascinating stories and really connecting us to the roots of karate. It wasn't just educational; it was truly inspiring. Harry made the history feel vibrant and relevant! This tour is a must-do if you're in Okinawa and have any interest in karate. It was a perfect blend of fun, learning, and cultural immersion that we'll never forget.

Dear Myriam-san, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! I’m truly happy to hear that the experience helped deepen your understanding of Karate. Knowing its historical background really brings meaning to every movement — from why each technique begins with a block to why the sensei always says, “Karate is not for fighting.” I also thoroughly enjoyed exploring Okinawa with you all. Your curiosity helped me see familiar places with fresh eyes, and I learned a lot alongside you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime if there’s anything I can do to help. Best regards, Harry

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

Dear Luc-san, Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt review! It truly means a lot to me that you enjoyed the Karate tour and felt the spirit and cultural depth of Okinawa through the experience. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through these meaningful places that are so important to understanding the roots of Karate. I'm also very glad to hear that your Karate keiko went well—that's wonderful news! I had been wondering how your phone situation turned out, so I hope everything was successfully repaired and is working fine again. Your thoughtful words and warm presence made the day all the more enjoyable for me, too. I hope we can cross paths again someday—whether here in Okinawa or elsewhere. Also, congratulations on the exciting journey ahead as you two prepare to welcome a new life into the world. I wish you and your growing family much happiness, good health, and many beautiful memories to come. With heartfelt gratitude, Harry Masuda
