My friend and I had a great time at the Okinawa Kenpo Karate Dojo. As beginners with little to no experience in karate, we found the sensei who facilitated the class to be very patient while teaching us the fundamentals of the art.

We booked the appointment a few weeks in advance through the Veltra website and were able to pay the fee ahead of time. You can rent a “gi” on site for 1,000 JPY in cash per set.

The location was also easy to find. We used Google Maps to locate the dojo, and it took us straight to the exact spot in Nago. If you go as a group, you should definitely carpool because the parking lot for the dojo is limited.

Make sure to be present & have fun. After our session they took pictures of us with different weapons and poses.

Overall, It was a beginner-friendly experience that we would recommend to people of all ages, regardless of their familiarity with karate. We were honored to be taught by Sensei Matsuda Tatsunori and to experience the beauty of traditional Okinawan karate.

We enjoyed our fun and educational sanba experience . The teacher was kind and patient and a talented musician. Highly recommend this activity.

I had a once in a life time experience interacting with dolphins at Motobu Genki Village! While a lot of people will head for Churaumi aquarium to watch whales and fish in big tanks, I opted for a closer encounter with these wonderful sea creatures. It is worth noting that the dolphins at Genki Village live in the actual sea, albeit in designated sections. Swimming with dolphins has been a childhood dream of mine, and I still can’t believe that it actually came true. Not only that, but I was in such luck that I was the only person in my booked time slot - meaning the very nice and skilled trainer directed all her attention to me. And I got to swim with the dolphin in question, Money - four whole times. Twice hanging onto her top fin and twice over her belly when she swam upside down. The trainer and Money put on quite the show, with funny tricks and mirroring theatrics which I also was a participant in. I had to the best time, and I have videos from the event of me laughing excitedly like a little kid. Besides the main activity itself, I got to loan a wet suit (winter time), crocs and a towel, and the changing room had lockers and the showers schampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The only thing I had to bring myself was a bathing suit - it could not have been smoother! I am so so happy to have experienced this! If you are in doubt, don’t be - just do it - you won’t regret it!

This is a very nice snorkeling tour in Ishigaki. The guide is so kind of leading us have a wonderful snorkelling！

What a great diving experience! Not only was the water crystal clear but also lots of vibrant corals with lots of color. The ocean never ceases to amaze with its colorful fish.

Our stars mainly go to our guides though! Great people with endless conversation and great social skills. Extremely nice and very adaptable depending on who they dive with. They take care of every diver no matter the skill!

Thanks a bunch for this everlasting experience Yuka and Kodai!!<3

We came as a group of three and had an absolutely amazing experience with Daan, our tour guide. He was extremely friendly and knew a lot about the local sea life. All the staff at Aruguide were also extremely welcoming and kind. We took the kayaks out to the spot where you can snorkel and also see the cave. The cave itself was fairly crowded but the area around it was incredibly beautiful and so many living things everywhere you look. Colorful fish and beautiful clear water. I couldn't recommend this experience more. 10/10

It was the best experience we had during Okinawa trip.
We were lucky and on the selected day there was only us 2 who was diving. Instructions were very clear and there was no language barrier. We booked 2 dives and it was perfect choice, as during 1st one you can feel nervous but during the 2nd dive it should be much easier. Instructor was leading the way trough the water and it was easy to follow and I felt safe because of it.
We even could see a Turtle underwater! So everything was perfect.
