Discover the real face of Okinawa by bicycle.
On this guided cycling tour, you will explore the everyday streets of Naha and Shuri, where local life, Ryukyu history, and Okinawan culture quietly remain. Instead of only visiting the usual tourist spots, our local guide will take you through small backstreets, nostalgic neighborhoods, traditional areas, and hidden viewpoints that are often missed by regular visitors.
The tour takes approximately 3 to 3.5 hours.

What To Expect

Tsuboya Yachimun Dori
“Yachimun” means pottery in the Okinawan language. About 300 years ago, during the Ryukyu Kingdom era, pottery kilns from different areas were gathered in this district. Since then, Tsuboya has continued to be known as Naha’s traditional pottery area. By bicycle, we will also ride through narrow nostalgic streets that are difficult to explore by car or on a regular sightseeing route.

5.00We had our tour on 3 June 2026. Aki is a very knowledgeable guide. He brought us to some hidden jam. Was a good 20km tour. The trip Up the hill is most memorable and we were rewarded with a fantastic view up the top of the hill. A very worth it tour. Definitely one of the highlights of our Okinawa tour.
Great Naha E-bike Tour

5.00We had a great time with Aki on our afternoon bike tour. He was very personable and was very informative about the Okinawan sites and culture. He was also well prepared with a first aid kit for my minor fall when walking. Nothing serious, but I am as glad he as ready to help!
The best tour in Okinawa with the best guide!
