Excellent Historic Tour Across Okinawa

I thoroughly enjoyed tracing the Battle of Okinawa with Harry-san. His deep knowledge of both the war and the island brought the events to life in a vivid and respectful way. I was most impressed by how Harry-san seamlessly connected the military history with the cultural legacy of the Ryukyuu Kingdom and its people. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a thoughtful and immersive historical experience.

Dear Samuel-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure to guide you through the historic battlefields and war memorials of Okinawa, and to share the stories behind them. I also had a great time exchanging insights with you and learning about the historical similarities and differences between the UK and Japan/Okinawa. Your thoughtful perspectives made the tour even more meaningful. I hope to have the chance to welcome you back to Okinawa again in the future! Best regards, Harry

Fantastic tour with Harry-san

Our group of two people did the 2-day 'Tracing the Front Line!' Okinawa battlefield tour with Harry-san, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Harry-san is a hugely knowledgeable guide, an excellent and enthusiastic communicator, and a very interesting and curious person. We got on very well with him and found the two days thoroughly enjoyable. As two people with a keen interest in the Pacific War, we were really hoping that our guide would be able to teach us new things about the battle. Harry-san most certainly did this, and was also able to provide us with a much deeper knowledge of the island of Okinawa, its wider history, and its culture. We were hugely grateful for this aspect of the tour, which made the military history all the more poignant. We were also interested in trying traditional local Okinawan cuisine, which Harry-san accommodated easily into our tour days. I feel we've come away from our short time in Okinawa with a far greater appreciation for both the battle and the island, both past and present, and I am certainly keen to visit again. I would hugely recommend Harry-san as a guide to anyone. We asked him a lot of questions, but he gave us only considered, thoughtful, and informative answers. 5 stars without question. Thanks so much Harry-san! We hope to see you again sometime! Best, Alex

Dear Alex-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for joining the 2-day Tracing the Front Line! tour. I am very happy to hear that you not only enjoyed learning about the battle but also about Okinawa’s culture and history. By understanding the daily lives of the people here, the reality of the war at those same places becomes much more tangible, and I’m glad this resonated with you. It was a real pleasure spending time with both of you and sharing stories, questions, and meals together. I would love to see you again in Okinawa or Yamanashi! Next time, let’s explore the northern forest of Okinawa and visit the fish market in Naha together. Wishing you all the best until we meet again. Warm regards, Harry

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
