Churashima Okinawa Bus Day Tour (Naha or Chatan Departure)

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.

Easy to find point up location, well organised, timely. Able to enjoy whale shark, manatees and dolphins show. Were greeted with beautiful sceneries on excursions to Kohei island Kouri island and Cape Manzamo.

For some people, it might quite rushed itinerary but for me it was okay especially if you want to visit all of the main attractions. Luckily, our tour guide can speak English so there was no problem with the communications. Thank you so much!

I must say, it was an amazing experience! Our guide was exceptional—fluent in English, Japanese, and Korean—which made communication seamless and engaging. The driver was also very accommodating, ensuring a comfortable journey throughout the day. One important tip for future travelers: make sure to return to the bus on time! I underestimated the distance from the aquarium to the bus parking lot, which is quite far. I recommend allowing at least 20 minutes for this walk. In my case, I got lost and ended up having to take a taxi to Kouri Beach. The bus was kind enough to wait for me for about 10 minutes, but I spent too long inside the aquarium waiting for my lunch and table. The aquarium itself offers a generous 2.5 hours to explore, which is fantastic! Overall, I had a wonderful time on the tour. I highly recommend visiting Kouri Island, Manza Cape, and American Village—each location has its unique charm. Just a heads-up: there is a Y100 entrance fee for Manza Cape, so plan accordingly

i had limited time in okinawa so im really glad this tour managed to cover so much ground. the best part is that the amount of time allocated per location is just perfect! would highly recommend this to anyone who is short on time!

This bus tour is so convenient! No need to tire yourself out driving. The guide was great and explained everything well. We got to see so many beautiful places – totally worth it!

Really excellent tour and great value for money. You’re given clear instructions on how to use the audio guide, the times you need to be back on the bus, and where you’re heading next from the friendly guide. The Emerald Beach is a 10 min walk from the aquarium so would recommend venturing down to this! Kouri Island and Cape Manzamo were excellent stops too. I do think the shop stop could be shortened in time, however it does have a great view on a nice day and there is a beach bar to enjoy. Surprisingly really enjoyed the American Village too and it was easy to arrange with the guide that we’d stay here rather than travel back to our original drop off location. I think perhaps the American Village time could be increased to 1h at least to allow for time to walk around it all and eat. Would recommend this to anyone that wants to explore the other side of the island and doesn’t have a car.

This itinerary was exactly what I was looking for, but saved me from driving, finding parking and gave us sufficient time at all the spots I wanted to visit. I Didn’t feel rushed, the guides were clear in instructions of when the bus was leaving each location and the price was reasonable considering entry fees of the activities. I also quite like the QR code which follows the bus along the route and you can listen to prerecorded audio for the history as you pass each site of interest at your own pace. Great value for money and would recommend

I did the course D. What you need to know is that they will bring you on the course C, and once you reach the aquarium, you will split and most likely be alone who doesn't go to the aquarium. But I highlt recommend the Tropical Garden, it is so pretty and really quiet !

The tour covered many places. We were only given 20 mins at some places. Very rush. However, it was still a very good trip. The price was really good for seeing so many attractions in 1 day. The view at Banta Cafe was breathtaking.
