Good
Reviewed by: Laura, 2019/02/15Good trip. Japanese language only but tour guide made sure I knew when to return to the bus. They do have audio guides but the english is pretty bad. Was dropped off at airport after, like I wanted.

Recommended for History lovers
Reviewed by: Kantheera, 2017/07/16I was a great half-day trip for those who have an afternoon flight or had no rental car like us!
All the attractions (Seifa-utaki, Okinawa world/Mibaru beach, and Himeyuri) are quite far from Naha city unless you rent a car. So I recommend this tour if you don't or can't drive.
Even though the tour guide doesn't speak English, she (if I'm not wrong, her name is Nakamura-san) did her best to help us, which I really appreciated,
But as it was a half-day trip, there was not much time, especially Okinawa World which we had only about an hour, so we only enjoyed the Cave, didn't actually spending time on the Village and snake museum. (alternatively, you can go the Mibaru beach instead - choose either)
Sata-andagi was given for free at Himeyuri too.
The cost doesn't include admission fees, but in total, it was an acceptable amount of money (Seifa-utaki=300yen, Okinawa World=1440yen(free pass), Himeyuri=310yen)
It was a memorable trip. I learned quite a lot about Okinawa History. However, i got burned a lot (it's a very hot summer anyway) so put on sunscreen and enjoy!

Hardworking tour guide
Reviewed by: HK couple, 2016/11/18Although we do not understand Japanese, we can feel the hospitality of our tour guide. She sang us 3 Japanese songs and they were nice. The tour expense covers only the transportation cost but it is still value for money. The translation kit does not work.

Great tour to fit your last day, but a bit rushed.
Reviewed by: Yan, 2016/01/11The pick up time was a bit early, but this tour was well arranged. Most of the tourists were Japanese. We were the only foreigners onboard. The tour guide only spoke Japanese, but she was attentive and gave us audio devices. She also did a good job memorizing her speeches and talked non-stop on our way to the destinations. There were some traffic jams along the way due to the narrow roads, but we got to each destination very much on time.
The path to Sefa-Utaki requires you to walk up hill along a stone path. It's a nice quiet place and it gives you a nice view of the ocean.
The stay at Okinawa World and the Gyukusendo Cave was too short, we should be given more time there to explore around. The cave itself is humid and it will take at least 30 minutes to walk the entire length of it (taken into account photo shooting time), I advise you to wear just a t-shirt while you're in there, because you will be sweating a bit with all the walking.
We ended up at the airport early at around 12:30 noon and had plenty of time before the actual check-in. I think it's better if the tour organizer can allocate more time for us to explore around at each destination, especially at Okinawa World. Overall, this is a nice and inexpensive tour to end the trip.

Nice tour
Reviewed by: Yann, 2015/08/08It was a nice tour, we spend some good time (even if it was a bit of a rush) in a restaurant on the beach and visited the really beautiful Sefa-Utaki. Being non fluent Japanese speaker, the Himeyuri memorial wasn't very interesting for us, but we spent some time shopping in the shop near the memorial. The guide was very nice and agreeable.
