The tour with you was particularly memorable because we covered 360km in one day. I'm glad we were able to visit four of the famous places. Don't forget to take a tour of this island. Please come again if you have the opportunity. Tateo U.

“Ein schöner Tag mit Tateo”
Tateo hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben uns, 3 deutsche Touristen mit wenig Englischkentnissen, alles genau zu erklären. Mit Translater ging es sehr gut. Alle Spots waren Interessant. Besten Dank dafür.

“Beyond expectations ”
We had Tateo guide us around Okinawa on 10/13/25. He picked us up at our hotel in Naha and customized our tour per our requests that morning. He is gracious, polite and most professional in every way. We went to see a pottery making village, wonderful beaches, beautiful views, local cuisine for lunch, souvenir shopping and even an awesome Okinawan Karate kaika museum with amazing martial arts history. He even recommended eateries for dinner before returning us to our hotel. We highly recommend giving Tateo a try. You’ll be glad you did.

I was really impressed by your love for the beaches. Luckily, the weather was on our side and sea water beaches were all beautiful. I also enjoyed it together. The fireworks at the NAHA FESTIVAL were also spectacular. I hope this tour will stay in your hearts forever. Finally, thank you for writing a nice review. Regards Tateo U.

Hi. I was a tour guide for Japanese speak in Japanese in main-land Japan around Tokyo. Now, I live in Okinawa for over ten years with my family. I wanted to be a tour guide for foreigners because I appreciate people's helps when I traveled around world. I traveled over seventy countries. I like traveling because I learn a lot from people who I meet. Finally, I got a certificate for being an English tour guide. I would like you to spend meaningful time in Okinawa. Okinawa has unique culture, they mixed Japanese and Chinese way, then, built up a new own culture. With limited time, I hope you enjoy seeing a lot and knowing a lot.
