Reviews

Exciting, easy-going, custom and fun!

Harry is a great human, very kind and accommodating, he is a natural at this kind of work. Harry took the time to customize my experience and even to join in when appropriate. Harry made the experience very comfortable and relaxing. I could 100 percent rely on him and simply just sit back enjoy myself. He drove to all of our spots, The days went by so fast but Harry kept me on track for the full experience- and always made sure I was good, having fun or getting something out of what we were doing. He was quick to swap things in or out and used his social network to deliver top notch experiences as well as advice! I came with intent and he was so helpful to answer my questions or have them answered for me. We had lots of laughs and I’m glad to call Harry my friend after this experience. Without question, I would recommend Harry in a heartbeat.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE !!!

Everything was perfect with Harry, we went to beautiful places. I learned a lot about the life in Okinawa in a fun way. He took me to try Buku Buku tea, which was a very enjoyable experience and to eat at the fish market which was quite an experience. He even took me to a supermarket to help me find some sauce that I wanted to buy. THANK YOU Harry for making this trip so special !!

Rosa L.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write a review, Rosa-san! It was truly a pleasure to spend such a special day with you on your birthday. I’m so glad we could explore beautiful places together and create lasting memories. I hope your daughter enjoys the souvenirs from Okinawa! Wishing you a safe and wonderful continuation of your cruise. I hope our paths cross again in the future!

Outstanding online tour and arrangements

Harry was very flexible in accommodating our requests and made several arrangements to ensure that the online tour took place without a hitch. Although only a few participants were able to join the tour due to time differences, all of them shared positive feedback and were expecially impressed with Harry's enthusiastic presentation and traditional arts performances. If anyone is visiting Okinawa for the first time, we highly recommend Harry as the go-to guy about anything related to Okinawa!

Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback! It was a pleasure to spend time with the academic conference participants and share Okinawa’s unique features with them. I hope this added something meaningful to their stay in Okinawa. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need a guide-interpreter with a scientific background. Mahalo nui loa.

Tracing the Front Line! - WWII Battle of Okinawa Tour

Okinawa Main Island
2 days

The Battle of Okinawa was one of the bloodiest ground warfare in WWII. When U.S. troops landed on Okinawa island on April 1, 1945, there was little counterattack contrary to their expectations. This was because the Japanese strategy was to build strong underground positions in the southern part of the island and turn the fight into an endurance contest. From this day, the 3 months of fierce battles embroiling citizens began. In this tour, we will trace the front line of the battle in 2 days.
