5.00Aki is a very knowledgeable tour guide and offered an excellent variety of stops. We were able to taste many authentic Okinawan offerings, including cane juice, sata andagi, peanut tofu, fruit, Okinawan soba, musubi, and muchi. He took us to back side cafes that you would generally be able to find, unless you knew about it. All stops were great, and a lot of tastings. Speaks very good English.
Must do tour in Okinawa!

5.00This tour is a good start to explore Naha. Aki showed us food spots we wouldnt've found ourselves. I think it's a good idea to book this tour early on your trip so you can ask Aki about recommendations for food or places worth visiting on the island. Aki also tells you a little about the culture and history of the island which is a nice addition. Overall we had a very good time. Thanks Aki
Delicious Food and Great Guide!

5.00A must book for foodies! Aki was a great, friendly, and knowledgeable guide, explaining everything about Okinawa's food culture. I loved all the shops he took us to as they were places I would never have found on my own. The food was SO GOOD and if I'm back in Okinawa again I will definitely join the tour again.
Don’t wait, book today!!!

5.00This was such a nice way for us to explore Naha in more depth - I genuinely think this was the highlight of our short trip to the city, as we got to try all the classics of Okinawan cuisine and also spots around the city that we would have not found ourselves. Personally the atmosphere at the last stop was my personal highlight as it was a cozy little cafe hidden away in a backstreet - very local. Aki was an amazing guide and super knowledgeable about Okinawa and its cuisine. I think this is ideal for anyone looking for an introduction to Okinawa cuisine and or a deep dive if you've already had some dishes here and there during your trip prior to the tour.
Great guide, cool places!
