Our guide had amazing emotional intelligence, five stars for Mr. Banana! 👍 The photos he took were even better than the videos I shot with my 360 camera 😂. Even though it was scorching hot, it was still a great experience! 👍 Plus, he lent each of us two ice neck coolers. He also offers 360 camera rentals there, I think it was around 8,000 yen, but we brought our own. If you do rent one, I recommend getting one per person because when it's mounted in the car, you can't extend it (it has a fixed position at the front of the car), making it really hard to capture the sides or the front, so it ends up looking like a dashcam 😂. And the best part is, the photos he takes and shares are free! 🥹🥹🥹

I met the photographer at the chosen location, and they arrived on time and started shooting right away. They had asked about my preferred style beforehand, so they understood the look I wanted to achieve, which made the process very efficient. Keiya-san was very encouraging, which boosted my confidence. I'm very happy with the photos; it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Mr. Charlie was incredibly energetic and kept the mood lively. I was very grateful that he provided ice neckbands on such a hot day. Throughout the ride, he consistently checked if we needed water or a restroom, and guided us with precise hand signals. His photography skills were also top-notch, resulting in beautiful pictures. Despite the heat, we had a very enjoyable ride. However, because the vehicle was low to the ground and open-air, constantly inhaling exhaust fumes was a bit challenging.

A hairstyle is a must-have! It's the essence of your overall look. The stylists will use curling irons to style your hair, and you can choose your preferred style from the examples in the salon. Even if you don't have long hair, it can still be styled beautifully!

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 .

We booked two triple rooms for this stay. While the room space wasn't huge, it was sufficient for organizing luggage and moving around. Both daily cultural experience activities were very interesting. Even though it rained during our stay, the hotel's activities provided a great alternative, so we could enjoy our time at the hotel in addition to visiting Kokusai Street. We also booked a birthday decoration package, which was a worthwhile surprise and included a delicious cake. Although it was a weekday, there were many guests during our stay, making it a bit noisy.

All I can say is it was amazing! Coming to Okinawa to experience the dance troupe's performance provided so much emotional value, instantly melting away the stress of my daily office job.

I had an amazing half-day snorkeling trip to the Kerama Islands from Naha. Even though I didn’t get to see any sea turtles, that really comes down to luck, and the experience was absolutely worth it. I saw a huge variety of colorful fish and had a great time exploring the beautiful underwater scenery.
The equipment was provided for everyone, and everything was organized professionally and efficiently. The staff were punctual, helpful, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
A special mention goes to Gaurav. Don’t hesitate to trust his guidance or ask questions. He was excellent at interacting with international guests in English, making me feel welcome and entertained throughout the trip.
I enjoyed the experience so much that I booked a full-day tour with the same company for the very next day to discover even more. That alone speaks for the quality of the service. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Naha!

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.
