Welcome to the balmy island of Okinawa-Honto, home to swaying palm trees and unique culinary, artistic and musical traditions. Take a private Okinawa tour with a local guide and discover the best parts of the island, while experiencing the gracious hospitality of your Japanese host.
In the city of Naha, you can walk through a 500-year-old stone gate to Shurijo Castle, a designated World Heritage site and former home of the Okinawan Royal Family. Your guide can help you shop for a unique souvenir in Tsuboya, the city's traditional centre of ceramics production since the 17th century. Enjoy a colourful walk along Kokusai Street, Naha's main shopping and entertainment avenue, and stop for lunch at one of many charming cafes. Outside of the city, you can explore the incredible Gyokusendo Limestone Cave, a nearly 5km-long underground network of caves dripping with stalactites.
Your guide is looking forward to customizing a unique Okinawa tour just for you! |
