5.00We had an amazing day with Aki. He showed us many sites including stops important to the history of karate by our request. It was a great way to see so many things on one day.
Aki made the experience unforgettable.

5.00Aki is an excellent tour guide. He will make sure that you see the sites you are interested in. Since he has lived there most of his life he knows where to take visitors and provide interesting stories all along the way. All in one well paced day we went to several historic sites, scenic beaches, markets, a very local/authentic restaurant for lunch and he still made some time for us to do some shopping. Take this tour, you will have a great day!
Super nice tour Naha and southern Okinawa

5.00Aki was absolutely fabulous, so good we hired him for a 2nd day. He was polite, courteous, incredibly helpful, gracious, very intelligent, spoke excellent English...he was very patient with working with us to do exactly what we wanted while also helping us not miss really cool stuff to see and do. His driving was totally safe and the car was very comfortable. We'd hire him again !!

5.00Aki Miyazato is a very kind, knowledgeable, professional tour guide who is willing to customize your experience according to your preferences. His background of working in Australia, and Hawaii while being a Okinawa native (with excellent English skills) allows him to have a broad knowledge base of information is he always willing to share. Our group of 6 was very comfortable in a full size van, with appropriate rest, snack, and lunch stops. Aki is flexible and willing to adjust according to what the tour participants request. Doomo arigatou gozaimasu Akisan! Ki o tsukete kudasai. Ja, matane!
