He is one of the best 5 stars!

Harry is an excellent guide. We rate him with a 5-star mark. He is very knowledgeable, has a varied background and interest in all sorts of things. We all liked his approach to relaying information which was entertaining and memorable. We came away with a more personal connection with the local people, their culture, history and problems. We enjoyed the way he presented things in a fun way with quizzes that even our children participated in. He is one of the best 5 stars. We would definitely choose him as a guide the next time we come to Okinawa.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m truly honored to be considered “one of the best 5-star guides.” It was a genuine pleasure and honor to be a guide for the Adaniya family reunion tour. I would be thrilled to guide you again when you return to Okinawa. Until then, take care of yourself! Best, Harry

Wonderful Day with Harry in Okinawa

Harry is a delightful Japanese man with an excellent command of English. He customized our tour of Okinawa so that it perfectly handled one of us in a wheelchair. We spend most of the day outside of the big city of Naha, which I recommend to anyone visiting Okinawa. We visited a cultural village with some quiet and quite raucous music and dancing which you can join in on (I did). We visited the some great pottery places using old-style wood kilns. Next on to beautiful old Zakimi fort (not handicap accessible), but just great if you can climb up a hill. n We went out to the Cape with its lighthouse and sweet potato ice cream. The back south to Naha for the Museum which is full of interesting artifacts brought to life by the very knowledgeable Harry. A varied and special day!

Dear Mark-san and Larry-san, Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you both! Our conversations were not only enjoyable but also inspiring. Through your stories and interactions, I was reminded of the many forms of richness in life—the value of mutual respect, continuous curiosity, and the joy of lifelong learning. I wish you wonderful weather tomorrow in Ishigaki and the rest of the journey full of discovery, enjoyment, and meaningful experiences. Looking forward to seeing you again someday! Warm regards, Harry

Moving Owinawa Battle sites tour with Harry M.

Harry M. was a wonderful guide. His English is excellant and he has a great sense of humor. We only had one day in Okinawa. So we worked with Harry prior to our arrival to compress his two day tour down to one. It was a great success! We visited Kakazu Ridge, the Japanese Navy underground headquarters, Mabuhi Hill and the Peace Memorial Museum. Harry made these sites come alive. It was a very moving experience. We also had a fun and tasty lunch experience. Harry took us to a small locally owned restaurant and helped us navigate the ordering process. The meal was very good and it was so interesting going to a place we never could have managed on our own. I recommend Harry M. to anyone planning on visiting Okinawa.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review, Andrea-san! It was truly a privilege to guide you through Okinawa and share the history of the Battle of Okinawa with you. I’m glad to hear that our customized itinerary worked well for your visit and that you found the experience both moving and meaningful. Exploring local restaurants is always a special part of any trip, and I’m happy you enjoyed the meal and the experience of dining like a local. Thank you again for your recommendation—I truly appreciate it. I hope you have many lasting memories of your time in Okinawa, and perhaps our paths will cross again in the future. Safe travels!

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. Green sea water and blue sky have been lured people from all over the world. Traditional music and dance are worth seeing. Please visit Okinawa and enjoy extraordinary trip. I will be looking forward to seeing you soon.

Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro, call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018. 大家好! 我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo(行博)。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊(日本陸軍)。 I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places. 我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內,但是它有很多兵種和工作,所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方,例如北海道10年,千葉縣15年,沖繩16年還有別的有些地方。 I am working for a half of month in Okinawa, and the rest of month in Nagasaki as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide. 我一邊在沖繩縣大概半個月, 一邊在九州長崎周邊當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。 I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it. 我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊(英/中文),可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格,我正在繼續學外語。 I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though. 我會說英語和中文(簡/繁),作為您的導游沒問題,沒有母語的人那麼好。
