Okinawa: The Cradle of Karate, Martial Arts of Peace (Up to 4 persons)

If you want to experience an authentic karate tour look no further this tour was amazing and give you great history about how karate started and originated in Okinawa. You could also experience two amazing Karate lessons in Okinawa dojos. I can’t recommend enough Kumiko she made sure I liked the itinerary prior of coming to Okinawa and she ensure she touched on the history of the karate style I was doing as well. She knows a lot about karate even though I’ve been doing martial arts for a long time I still learned a lot with her and the day went by so fast. A truly amazing experience :)

I done the karate tour with Kumiko Teruya The tour she set up for me was amazing we done the karate museum her knowage on the history and family tree on Okinawa karate was fascinating from their went to sensei Kaicho and Mamoru went through the kobudo museum and kobudo training is something I will never forget it was an honour and privilege to be in their presents thank you Kumiko. We had a traditional lunch very tasty the rest of tour went to karate monument and some old places in Okinawa which was lovely. Overall was a fantastic day, she done a lot of work in the background to make this day awesome for me am grateful for that. Anyone wanting to do this tour I highly recommend it and can recommend Kumiko as a tour guide. Regards Ralph Havard Regards Ralph Havard

We really enjoyed our first time in Okinawa. Attending a karate class was a bucket list item. Kumiko was very helpful in arranging these classes and assisting us in participating. For anyone interested in making the trip to experience the karate culture, I would highly recommend you reach out to Kumiko.

Kumiko is a wonderful and fantastic guide, so lovely and a pleasure to spend the day with. She organised the most wonderful Karate tour for us. Kumiko and is so knowledge about the history of the island and the history of karate, without Kumiko we would never have got to see the places we saw or visited the places we did. The karate museum is a fantastic place which explains the lineage of karate and how it spread out across the world. Kumiko arranged for me to have a training sessions both in karate and kobudo, and wow what an experience that was. An experience with memories i will treasure forever. Kumiko even organised a wonderful and delicious traditional Okinawan lunch. If anyone is visiting Okinawa I would highly recommend Kumiko as a guide, she is fantastic.

Teruya san provided a full day of beautiful sights and memorable experiences. Teruya san herself is full of knowledge that makes the tour more meaningful. She provides facts that she knows by heart. Unlike other guides who have notes with them, it shows that Teruya San is very passionate about what she offers in her tours. Next time I'm in Okinawa, I will be sure to book with Teruya san!

I have booked a tour with Kumiko three times now and tour has been incredible! Kumiko is so knowledgeable about Okinawan culture and history and she is a black belt in Karate herself. You get to choose the weapon for kobudo and choose a master to learn a private lesson. The lessons that we took were perfect for first time beginners. Kumiko also chose a fantastic spot for lunch. nifee deebiru!!
