5.00This was a last minute idea for my husband and I that turned pit to be the best thing we did the entire trip. First off Ken is charming easy going and his English is incredible. He took us to so many tucked away, unseen gems around the island and in Irabu. He allowed us to stop at some really wo derful local cafes so I could taste the coffee of the island which was such a treat. He introduced us to local shop owners and they were so generous. He had every answer to questions of history and culture. How better to get to experince this magical place than with someone who knows where the magic is! Thank you Ken we.are.letting all our friends know Ken is your guy!

5.00If you’re visiting Miyakojima, booking a tour with Ken is a no-brainer. He picked us up right at our hotel and gave us an amazing full-day tour that was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. We visited places like Irabu Bridge and Utopia Farm Miyakojima, had a great local lunch, saw beautiful beaches, stopped at a very cool cave, and checked out scenic viewpoints and hidden lookouts we never would have found on our own. What made the day especially great was how much Ken shared along the way. He taught us about the island’s history, culture, and local way of life, which made every stop more meaningful. The whole experience felt easy, personal, and relaxed — much more like exploring with someone who truly knows and loves the island than being on a standard tour. Ken is kind, thoughtful, professional, and clearly cares about giving people a real experience of Miyakojima. He speaks excellent English, which made everything seamless and easy for us. We’re very grateful for the day and would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting the island.

5.00I joined this tour because I wanted to experience something more local on the island. The guide took us to many different spots, which made the experience even more special. The ocean here was even more beautiful than the ones I’ve seen in Hawaii. I would recommend this tour to my friends. Thank you for having me!
Best trip ever!

He showed us some stunning places around Miyako Island, including a few hidden spots that only locals seem to know about. His knowledge of the island and friendly attitude made the tour even better.

5.00I joined this tour with my son. Our guide, Ken, was kind from the beginning to the end and showed us many beautiful places. Some of the places we visited were not even listed on Google Maps, so they were spots we probably wouldn’t have been able to go to without joining this tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an English-guided tour in Miyakojima.
Amazing experience!

5.00I had a wonderful experience joining an island sightseeing tour in Miyako Island. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, with crystal clear water, stunning beaches, and breathtaking viewpoints. Our guide Ken san was very friendly and knowledgeable, and explained many interesting things about the island, its culture, and history. The tour was well organized and his English was so much better than I expected. Thanks to Ken san!!
