American Village tours

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. 😅

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.

We had a fantastic time! Thank you to our guide, Zuo-san! The itinerary was explained very clearly, and the timing was perfect. They even adjusted the schedule slightly for us to see a show and allowed us to customize it to our preferences! I've been on many bus tours like this, and this one was definitely one of the best! Highly recommend it!

Ms. Ishikawa's introduction was incredibly detailed, and having a Chinese-speaking guide was a huge plus! Ms. Ishikawa took great care of everyone and immediately remembered everyone's faces in the group, which was amazing! The overall experience was excellent. Although we only had 30 minutes at Manzamo and Kouri Island, which might be a bit short for those who love taking photos and exploring, it really tested our time management skills. We had a good amount of time at the Churaumi Aquarium. If you want to take your time looking at everything inside, it might still not be enough, but seeing the enormous whale sharks alone made it worthwhile! There's also a dolphin show, opportunities to take photos with dolphins (limited to 15 groups), and even feed them (also limited groups, very popular, so if you want to do it, you need to line up right after the show)! At the Churaumi Aquarium, Ms. Ishikawa gave a very detailed explanation of the aquarium's layout and facilities, and she reminded everyone not to take a wrong turn, or they might get lost! There are three souvenir shops, and they each sell slightly different items. If you see something you like, it's best to buy it right away, because what's available in shop A might not be in shop B, and vice versa! This was my first time booking a one-day tour, and I really enjoyed it! It was very much worth it. Highly recommend!

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.

The driver & the guide 霍导 was friendly. During the journey, the guide shared with us about food & history of the sightseeing places we going. The time given for each sightseeing places was just nice for us to walk around and take photos. We had lunch at the Itoman market.

Minami-san is a great guide! She provide explanation for each spot in English and Chinese, which make the whole trip enjoyable! first stop manzomo and Kaori beach has 30 minutes each, while chikauri Aquarium got 3.5 hours, last stop American village 1 hour, can choose to go back without follow the bus!I get to try the banana milk shake at American village stop near information center. Kudos to the driver for the safe drive and punctuality!

It was fun, but we were rushed at every stop, especially at Kouri Beach, which was so beautiful that we didn't have enough time (if you have kids, I recommend bringing an extra set of clothes and shoes). The dolphin show was only 10 minutes long and extremely crowded, making it hard to find a seat, so we had to stand on the side. However, seeing the whale sharks back at the main hall was still very moving. We also didn't have enough time at American Village, and the landmark Ferris wheel has already been dismantled and replaced with a hotel! Finally, a big thank you to our wonderful guide, Ms. Zeng, for a fantastic and fulfilling day. Her explanations were also perfect!!

I really have to give a big shout-out to Director Mou and the driver on August 25th. That day was actually the eve of a typhoon, and many areas in the north had issued warnings and canceled their plans. Our central Japan itinerary, including the Kadena Air Base, also had its flight training canceled. We received storm warnings upon arriving in Nago and other areas. However, thanks to Director Mou's flexible arrangements and the warm cooperation of our handsome driver, all outdoor activities were scheduled for the morning. After noon, all activities were indoors, so we didn't feel the wind and rain as much and could enjoy shopping with peace of mind. This prevented the typhoon from ruining our trip, making it a very pleasant and wonderful memory. I highly recommend the dedication of this travel agency's staff! ♥️
