Since it was the off-season, there were only two participants. Since it was my second time, memories from over 20 years ago came back to me. I recommend the Okinawa bus tour.オフシーズンなので参加２人でした。２回目なので20年以上前の記憶が蘇りましった。沖縄バスのツアーはお勧めです。

I was grateful to be picked up at the hotel in the morning. On this day, there were six of us participating: two couples and myself. We set off in a large bus.

Our first stop was Okinawa World. I had wanted to see the Eisa dance, but I didn't know much about the other attractions. There was a cave! I love wind caves, so I had a great time. In the tropical fruit garden, mangosteen and bananas were abundantly ripe. It was also nice to drink the traditional "bubukucha" tea in an old Okinawan buildin… I was grateful to be picked up at the hotel in the morning. On this day, there were six of us participating: two couples and myself. We set off in a large bus.

Our first stop was Okinawa World. I had wanted to see the Eisa dance, but I didn't know much about the other attractions. There was a cave! I love wind caves, so I had a great time. In the tropical fruit garden, mangosteen and bananas were abundantly ripe. It was also nice to drink the traditional "bubukucha" tea in an old Okinawan building. And I got to see the Eisa dance! There were not only drums but also lion dances, which were very impressive.

Next, we headed to the Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Park and Museum. This is the site where the Battle of Okinawa came to an end, and all the names of those who lost their lives in the battle were engraved there. I also learned for the first time that there are memorial towers for each prefecture. I was shocked to hear that the sea had turned bright red with blood and learned a lot from the guide about unexploded ordnance.

From there, we went to the famous Himeyuri Monument. I felt like I already knew about it because it's so well-known, but as I listened to the survivor's experiences and looked at the materials, I sincerely thought that I never want my daughters to go through something like this. (Entry to the museum is free, and no admission fee is required.) The large banyan tree was quite impressive.

We had lunch at a souvenir shop across the street. After the tour of the battle sites, we quickly moved to the modern era. At Aeon Mall Okinawa Toyosaki, we had free time to enjoy the sea view or shop for souvenirs. Since I love aquariums, I visited the DMM Kariyushi Aquarium located inside. The admission fee is not included in the tour price, but considering that I got to see it while I was there, I felt lucky. It was compact and had many areas where kids could interact with animals. The tropical fish, lively Asian small-clawed otters, and sloths were all very entertaining.

During the travel, the guide shared highlights of our destinations and even sang songs, making the tour enjoyable in ways that only a guided tour can provide. Since Okinawa World and lunch were included, I thought it was quite a good value. This was my first bus tour, but I left with a pamphlet, hoping to join another tour in the future. 　朝ホテルまで迎えに来てもらえて助かりました。この日はご夫婦2組と私と男性の6人での参加でしたが大きなバスで出発。

　次に向かったのは【沖縄県平和祈念公園・資料館】沖縄戦終焉の地で沖縄戦で亡くなられたすべての人の名前が刻まれていました。都道府県ごとの慰霊塔があることも初めて知りました。海が血で真っ赤になっていたこと。不発弾のことなどガイドさんに説明してもらえたから知れたこともたくさんありました。
　そこから近くの【ひめゆりの塔】有名すぎてもう知ってるような気さえしてましたが、普通の女子高生の生活から一変した生存者の体験談話や資料を見ていると、こんなこと娘たちにしてほしくない。と切に思いました。(資料館に入場するのは自由で別に入場料が必要)
ガジュマルの大きな木が印象的です。
向かいにあるお土産もの屋さんで昼食。
　戦跡めぐりのあとは一気に現代に。【イーアス沖縄豊崎】では自由時間で海を眺めるとかお土産などの買い物できます。私は水族館が好きなので館内にあるDMMかりゆし水族館に行きました。入館料はツアー代には含まれていませんが自分で行くことを考えるとついでに見られてラッキーでした。コンパクトだし子供さん向けの動物とふれあいできるところが多かったです。南国の魚、元気なコツメカワウソ、ナマケモノもよく動いていておもしろかったです。
　移動中ガイドさんが訪問先の見どころを教えてくれたり歌を歌ってくれたりツアーに参加したからこその楽しみがいっぱいでした。おきなわワールドと昼食が含まれているのでかなりコスパいいと思いました。バスツアーは初めてでしたがまた別のツアーに参加したいなとパンフレットもらって帰りました。

At Okinawa World, we experienced the largest limestone cave in the East and witnessed the power of Eisa, enjoying Okinawa's nature and culture.

At the Peace Park and Himeyuri Monument, we were able to confirm the horrors of war and felt grateful once again for being able to live in peace today.

The tour included a bus guide who provided detailed explanations and a well-organized itinerary, making it a fun experience. The driver also drove safely, which made for a reassuring trip.

Next time I come to Okinawa, I would love to enjoy another tour course.

I highly recommend everyone to try it out; it's affordable, includes lunch, and is a thoroughly satisfying tour—you won't regret it! 沖縄への旅行は3ヶ月前に航空券とホテルは予約していたものの、沖縄で何をするか、全く決めていなかった。

The visiting hours for the Peace Memorial Museum and the Himeyuri Tower felt limited, and it seemed like there was more flexibility with the commercial facilities' hours. Shouldn't there be a reconsideration of the time allocation?平和祈念資料館とひめゆりの塔の見学時間が少なく、商業施設の時間にゆとりが合うように感じた。時間配分の再考が必要ではないでしょうか？

The content of the tour was great! ♡ Unlike other tours, this one allows participants to visit the Peace Memorial Park and the Himeyuri Monument if they wish. At Okinawa World, there was only a few minutes between the end of the Eisa performance and the bus departure time, so it was a bit hectic, but we made it in time! At the last shopping mall, I regretted having bought my souvenirs earlier since they were cheaper there. Everything was wonderful! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))ツアーの内容がよかった♡他のツアーでは平和記念公園の見学、ひめゆりの塔の見学の時間はとられてないがこのツアーでは希望者は拝観出来ます。おきなわワールドはエイサーの終わる時間とバス出発時間が数分しかなくちょっとバタバタしましたが間に合います！
最後のショッピングモールでは、お土産が安く買えるので先に買っちゃってたので後悔しました。
全てよかったです(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Unfortunately, I was the only participant on the day, but the guide was so attentive and warm that I didn't feel that at all. Every time we arrived at a spot, they provided detailed explanations of the history and background, and they answered each of my questions thoroughly and clearly, especially when I showed interest. It was truly a delightful tour.当日の参加者は、残念ながら私1人だけになってしまいましたが、ガイドさんは全くそんなことを感じさせないほど、とても丁寧で温かい対応をしてくださりました。

It seems to be the off-peak season, so we had a tour with just four people. Thanks to that, no one was late for the meeting, and we were able to move ahead of schedule. In the end, one person finished at Naha Airport and seemed to head straight to the plane to go home. If time allows, this kind of tour is nice too!閑散期なのか4名でのツアーとなりました。お陰で集合に遅れるひとはいないしどちらかと言うとシュケジュール前倒し。最後におひとり那覇空港でゴール。そのまま飛行機で帰られたようです。
