Okinawa World

Noriko was fantastic. So knowledgeable and flexible. It was very hot, so after visiting Shuri Castle, she on the spot designed an itinerary that would help beat the heat. We saw the cave and the cultural exhibits at Okinawa World which was an excellent experience then had a fun sushi lunch. I highly recommend her services! Thanks for a great day!

Noriko Y.

Thank you for your message. I'm grad to know I could help you. Please enjoy rest of your journey. Thank you for visiting Okinawa.

I learned so much, socially, culturally and historically!

Noriko is very professional, well educated and socialable. Great conversations from the beginning of the tour, to the end! My first time coming to Okinawa, and only thought it was tropical Japan. Noriko explained and showed me how special and unique Okinawan history can be. From 1429 to WW2 battles and occupation era. Very happy to have her guide me. It was a great day!

Noriko Y.

Naha tour with Kumiko

Noriko wasn't available on the day of our tour so she arranged her friend Kumiko to guide us, and she arranged a great tour of Naha in the limited time we had. Highly recommend a local to guide you through their city rather then a big group in a bus.

Noriko Y.

Thank you for your message. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the tour in Naha city. Thank you.

Fantastic Guide!

Noriko was an incredible guide for us, very accomadating and customized our tour to our interests! We are a family of 4, and our two daughters (10 yo and 7 yo) really enjoyed learning from her, sharing jokes and having a wonderful day together. She took us off the beaten path and we got to explore parts of Okinawa we didn't know about, and she was so helpful in explaining things and helping us navigate conversations throughout the day. I highly recommend Noriko, she is kind, thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable guide! Thank you Noriko, you were fantastic!

Noriko Y.

Thank you indeed. It was an unforgettable day. Please enjoy rest of your holiday. Arigato.
