it was raining in okinawa the day i took the trip (it wasn't raining during the bus ride so the staff was nice enough to keep the sunroof open) it was already raining when i got back to the bus and the staff had closed the sunroof beforehand keeping my stuff safe and dry inside!

Our Guide Maria was really great. She's fluent in English and taught us a lot about the local history and culture. She was funny and easy going. Even though the castle itself was under restoration after the fire, she showed us around every part that was open to the public and also explained in detail how the restoration process was going. Because of the rain she offered us to skip some walking and take a cab, but we opted to walk instead. She took care of us so we didn't walk into any spider webs and made sure we didn't slip on the wet rocky path. The lunch was amazing, it was a very nice restaurant that we would've never discovered without her. Overall an amazing tour with a lovely guide. 10/10 would recommend

The trip was wonderful: everything was quick, you don't even notice the heat, everyone was very polite, and the guides were simply amazing (they showed us everything, told us stories, helped with masks and fins, and even brought up starfish from the seabed). We felt like we were in the movie "The Little Mermaid."

The stalactites in Gyokusendo Cave at Okinawa World are spectacular, and the traditional Eisa drum performance is also very impressive. If you prefer not to visit the aquarium, you can choose to explore the shopping malls instead. The itinerary is quite flexible and can be adjusted to your preferences. Senaga Island offers beautiful scenery and is a great spot for photos. The seafood at Itoman Fish Market is fresh and delicious, making for a very satisfying meal. The Funpass app provides detailed guided explanations! I highly recommend Klook's Okinawa Southern One-Day Tour. The overall itinerary is rich and well-arranged, saving a lot of time on transportation and transfers, making the entire trip easy and enjoyable.

Coming from Hong Kong, it rained heavily the night before, and I was worried. I WhatsApped the owner, and he was very kind, telling us to come anyway and see what the weather was like when we arrived. We participated in the 90-minute session, and both my husband and my friend's husband said they had a great time and really enjoyed it, especially the part at Senaga Island. There were only two participants that day, but the instructor was excellent, attentive, polite, and took great care of the students. It's definitely worth doing when you visit Okinawa. Before we left, each of us received a commemorative photo. I initially thought I had left something behind and WhatsApped the owner, and he was very helpful and kind.

From registration to the actual go-kart experience, the whole process was very smooth.
The store manager, Hiro, was also very helptul.
He took lots of photos throughout the experience, although many of the photos were in similar poses. &
We were especially thankful that Hiro allowed us to proceed even though it was raining. It we had cancelled, we would have had to reschedule, but unfortunately, we didn't have another available time slot during our trip. He was kind enough to let us go ahead and suffered (haha) under the rain.
It was a fun experience driving a go-kart on the streets of Okinawa! Going along the Kukousai and seeing people turn around and look at us was definitely one of the highlights.
We did have to pay an additional amount for insurance. It's optional, but I feel that the insurance could have been included in the overall Klook price.
Would recommend this experience! That said, you should be reasonably confident and comfortable with driving!

Must-Visit Attractions in Shurijo Castle, Okinawa
Shurei-mon Gate
Make sure to include a trip to the Shureimon Gate, constructed in the early 16th century by King Sho Sei. This stone gate was historically used for ceremonial entrances to the castle, and walking beneath its majestic seven-meter-high red-tiled roof evokes a sense of royal grandeur. Despite facing destruction multiple times over the years, the ceremonial gate was most recently reconstructed in 1958.
Seiden (Main Hall)
The Seiden, currently under reconstruction, was the most lavishly decorated building and a landmark of Okinawa. It served as the venue for major state affairs and ceremonies.
Kankaimon Gate
Built around 1477--1500, Kankaimon Gate is the first main gate to the castle grounds. It was restored in 1974 after being destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945.
Una Plaza
Facing the Seiden, Una Plaza was where ceremonies took place. Surrounding the plaza were the Hokuden (North Hall - destroyed), Nanden (South Hall - destroyed), and the Hoshinmon (Hoshin Gate - survived). The Hokuden and Nanden were administrative buildings used to welcome guests from China and mainland Japan.
