About Tour Guide Nelson O.
Originally from Brazil with a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism, I spent five years studying and working in Toronto- Canada before moving to my wife’s hometown of Okinawa in 2017. Today, Okinawa is home, where we’re raising our two daughters.
As a local guide and active diver and surfer, I’m passionate about sharing the Okinawa I know and love with visitors from around the world. I enjoy combining the island’s iconic landmarks with authentic local experiences, beautiful coastal scenery, and hidden gems that many visitors might otherwise miss.
Whether you’re interested in Okinawa’s history, culture, nature, food, or simply want to explore at your own pace, I’ll create a private experience around your interests. I take care of the details so you can relax, enjoy the journey, and make the most of your time on the island.
Come explore Okinawa with me and experience the island like a local.

My name is Tateo. I am officially registerd English tour guide and introducing about Okinawa's history,culture, and nature.I am elderly person but have gone through lots of expericences that happened during US occupation after WW2. For the example, change of monetary system(US dollar to Yen),Change of traffic regulation(driving vehicle from right to left).The reversion of Okinawa to main land Japan was biggest historical event.The US administered Okinawa for 27 years. As a result, thing were Americanized in many aspects. Historically, Okinawa was once independent nation until 1872.During Kingdum era, Okinawa actively traded with China, South Asia Countries, Korea, and Japan. In the end, our culture is quite differ much from main land Japan. For instance, architectural technique, daily customs, and culture are also unique. Okinawa is the only prefecture belong to subtropical climate zone. Even winter time, it's neither hot nor cold. People can enjoy marine sport all through the year.Canoeing, Kayaking, Diving, and Snorkeling are popular. Besides, beatiful white sand beaches and attractive coastline are abundant.
