5.00We joined this tour during our family cruise when our ship docked at Naha Port. As soon as we exited the port, we were able to easily meet our driver who was waiting with a name board, which made the pickup very smooth and stress-free. We have visited several castles in mainland Japan before, but Okinawa has a very different history, so the architecture and atmosphere were quite unique and fascinating to see. I was a bit concerned about walking long distances, but when we mentioned this, the driver kindly suggested the best route so we could enjoy the sights comfortably. Although the driver did not speak English, we were able to communicate easily using a translation app, and it did not cause any problems throughout the day. Overall, it was a very meaningful and enjoyable experience for our family. If we visit Okinawa again in the future, we would definitely book this tour again.
