American Village tours

Our experience with the Southern Okinawa Chinese bus tour was excellent overall. Our guide, Han, was very professional, and his explanations and descriptions were clear. The scenery along the way was also beautiful. The itinerary was generally well-planned, making for a very relaxing trip. The only minor disappointment was the Itoman Fish Market. Personally, I feel it could be omitted from the itinerary. The seafood prices were a bit high, and the taste was just average. Compared to the Makishi Public Market, the value for money was significantly lower.

The beach wasn't very beautiful on a cloudy day ⛅, but the strong wind was perfect for Cape Zanpa. We mainly came to the central part of the island for it, but unfortunately, the lighthouse stairs weren't open. The overall experience was good; the attractions weren't too close together, and we finished early, so there was no traffic. The complimentary ice cream 🍨 and burger set were both excellent. The ice cream had a local flavor, and the fruit flavors were all dairy-free. I recommend the citrus flavor; I had watermelon, which I felt no one else chose, and it had a slightly spoiled 🍉 taste. The Southeast Botanical Gardens were exquisite and compact. The plants in the main garden weren't particularly exotic; compared to botanical gardens in China like the South China Botanical Garden, Xiamen Botanical Garden, and many famous botanical gardens in Southeast Asia, their richness was stronger. However, the botanical garden excelled in its overall layout, looking very much like it was lovingly crafted by a master gardener. Our tour guide, Xiao Lian, is from Fuzhou. She was very enthusiastic and attentive throughout the trip, taking care of everyone. Having lived in Okinawa for over 30 years, she has a deep understanding of the local culture.

The bus pick up was on time. The bus is clean & comfortable with wifi. The driver drives safely. the tour is organized well with ample time for each attraction & not rushed. it is best to take this tour if you don’t have a car to go around Okinawa.

The tour service was excellent. We contacted them via WhatsApp in advance, confirming our booking two days before the actual date. In Japan, there was a typhoon warning (Typhoon No. 6) for Okinawa. The staff promptly coordinated and sent a message informing us of the tour cancellation for that day. We were given the option to reschedule or cancel. We chose to reschedule for two days later, and fortunately, we had clear skies on the day we went. The trip was smooth, and the staff provided detailed information to each group, including meeting times and locations, and even shared the exact coordinates on WhatsApp. On that day, there were many international tourists from various countries, but everyone was punctual and well-behaved on the tour bus. We were very happy with this tour; it was definitely worth it, comfortable, and allowed us to relax as the bus took us to different spots. We were safely picked up and dropped off at our destination.

Awesome that they ran this tour for only one person yours truly! but time spent at the American village is a bit short though ... too short to really do anything other than catch a glimpse. They have a guide that actually speaks English albeit she is not a native Japanese

A full day with lots of different activities and lots of fun. we loved Kouri island and the aquarium the most.they were spectacular. Maybe telling people they can bring their swimmers would be good and allowing a little more time for swimming. less time at the cake shop. Our guide was fun and very knowledgeable. she was great .

This northern Okinawa tour is longer and requires more time to reach the destination. The driver will drive you to the destinations stated in the list and you will just have free and easy time till the stipulated time by the driver

Enjoyed the tour, especially the Okinawa Chaurumi Aquarium. 🐟 I can consider it one of the highlights of my trip here in Okinawa. The only bad side is that the tour guide can only speak in Chinese, make sure to book one with an English tour guide so that you will understand what he says. 😅
