Meeting Point
At your hotel
Shurijo Castle
Shurijo Castle is the heart of Okinawa.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, it tells the story of the Ryukyu Kingdom, once a powerful maritime hub in Asia.
Unlike mainland Japan’s castles, Shurijo shines in vibrant vermilion red, blending Japanese and Chinese influences.
Walk through its gates and step into a world of royal elegance and unique island culture.
Kinjo Stone Road
Step back in time at Kinjo Stone-Paved Road, a hidden treasure in Shuri.
Built over 500 years ago during the Ryukyu Kingdom, this curved limestone path once connected the royal capital to the island.
Walk slowly, feel the breeze, and discover a peaceful side of Okinawa that few visitors truly experience.
Lunch
Enjoy a personalized Okinawan lunch experience.
I’ll select the best local spot to match your tastes, so you can discover the island through its flavors.
Tsuboya Pottery Street & Heiwa Street
Explore Tsuboya’s traditional pottery street and discover handmade yachimun ceramics.
Find a piece you love and take home a part of Okinawa’s story.
Then enjoy a relaxed walk through Heiwa Street, where local culture and hidden treasures await.
Let’s wander these charming streets together and experience the heart of local Okinawa.

About Tour Guide Yuki H.
Hi, I’m Yuki from Okinawa!
Born and raised here, I know the island not only as a destination, but as home. After spending 5 years living in Australia, I understand what international travelers look for — authenticity, connection, and comfort.
As a local guide with one year of experience, I love sharing the real Okinawa beyond the typical tourist spots. I will guide you through history, culture, food, and everyday island life while making sure your day is smooth, comfortable, and fun.
My goal is simple: not just to show you Okinawa, but to help you feel it.
I look forward to meeting you and exploring together!

“Exploring and drinking in Okinawa”
Yuki is an amazing guide, very helpful and knowledgeable. Created a tour that I really enjoyed finding places that I had asked about. Very funny and outgoing so we got along great and then enjoyed dinner and drinks after . Highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore another side of Okinawa
