Walking, eating, sightseeing in Okinawa - We recommend this tailored 2 - 6 hours, for foodies, history or cultural buffs. Our guide Mariana (passionate Taika drummer) took us to interesting market, ceramic museum and delicious restaurant. Do try Goya Champuru (bitter melon stir-fry), Okinawa Soba (wheat noodles in pork broth), Rafute (braised pork belly), and Umibudo (sea grapes)..

Be sure to travel Naha with Sara! - Sara was an absolutely wonderful guide. Both her English and her Japanese were impeccable. She was knowledgeable about the castle, and friends with many of the staff leadership. She also took us thru the heart of the city, in ways an outsider would never find. From pottery to food, we saw the true gems of the city. And everywhere we went, the knew Sara. She really made the tour exceptional.

Sara was absolutely fantastic! - Our guide Sara has lived in Naha for 23 years and has made many friends of local artisans. She introduced us to several and then translated their stories. It was wonderful and a totally unique experience.

Erudite and Attentive Tour Guide - Sara gave us a fantastic tour. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of Naha and its culture and inhabitants. We toured Shuri Castle and then she brought us to a lovely local restaurant where we sampled Okinawan cuisine and we had a private tour of a pottery kiln due to her being acquainted with the chief potter himself. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
