Overview

This is the ideal full-day tour for travellers who want to discover the highlights of Naha and the former Ryukyu Kingdom in depth, in a private vehicle with a government-licensed, experienced multilingual guide.

Okinawa has a culture, history, and atmosphere all its own, shaped by centuries as an independent island kingdom and its subtropical setting. Over eight relaxed hours you will visit Shurijo Castle, the red-lacquered symbol of the Ryukyu Kingdom and a UNESCO World Heritage site, stroll lively Kokusai-dori, and dive into island life at Makishi Public Market. Your guide can also take you to Naminoue-gu shrine on its coral cliff, tranquil gardens such as Fukushuen and Shikinaen, the pottery lanes of Tsuboya, and the royal mausoleum of Tamaudun.

With a private vehicle and a knowledgeable local guide, you travel comfortably between sights, customise the itinerary to your interests, and gain a deep feel for Okinawa's heritage, cuisine, and warm island hospitality.
