Hello! I am Aki, welcome to Okinawa! Born and raised in Okinawa, Japan, I have built a diverse career in the tourism industry across multiple countries, including Hawaii and Australia. My experience spans hotels, restaurants, tour guiding, marine activity coordination, and tourism marketing. After returning to Okinawa, I joined the Okinawa Convention & Visitors Bureau (OCVB), where I worked for over 10 years. During my tenure, I played a central role in overseas promotion, inbound tourism infrastructure development, and international flight route development. I have visited 17 countries, hold a certified Okinawa Regional Interpreter Guide license, and am passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of Okinawa with international visitors. In 2021, I joined an online travel agency, producing local tourism content while also leading sales for an activity booking platform. Through my tours, tour participants will discover unique stories and secret places known only to the locals. They gain a deeper understanding and experience of the history and culture rooted in each region, and gain new perspectives through interaction with the locals. My tour offers a wide variety of tours specializing in nature, culture, history, and sports. With plans to suit your interests and preferences, there is something for everyone. Nature lovers will enjoy eco-tours and hiking trails through beautiful landscapes, while those interested in culture can experience local traditional crafts and arts. History buffs will enjoy trips to old towns and historical sites, while those who prefer active travel will find thrilling experiences such as SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling. All of my tour prices include private transportation.

    Aki was an amazing tour guide! He catered to our interests throughout the journey. We truly appreciate the time and effort he put into our journey so that we can have a one-of-a kind experience. We wish we were able to add on another excursion with him. We will definitely hire him again when we come back to Okinawa.

    This was a wonderful tour of Okinawa. Our guide and driver, Aki, provided us a very comfortable drive and history of the diversity of the island. We started at a small fishing village on Ojima Island where we not only saw some beautiful ocean views but were able to sample some delicious tempura and sushi made from the catch of the day. After that, we headed back into the...
