Okinawa Prefecture
Okinawa, Japan’s southern island paradise, is famed for its turquoise seas, subtropical climate, and rich Ryukyu heritage. Beyond its stunning beaches, the main island offers world-class diving, vibrant coral reefs, and historic sites like Shuri Castle and the Nakijin and Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. Visitors can explore traditional villages, lush forests, and unique cultural experiences year-round. Okinawa’s food scene is equally captivating, featuring local specialties such as Okinawa Soba and slow-braised Rafutee. With its blend of natural beauty, history, and warm island hospitality, Okinawa promises an unforgettable journey in every season.

If you need to park, it might be a little difficult, so prepare in advance. The staff provided excellent service and clear instructions. The ride was comfortable and not too hot, and the underwater scenery was amazing. The trip lasted about half an hour and was very smooth. It doesn't require much physical exertion, making it suitable for all ages.

I found the check-in and seating arrangements to be very flexible! The boatman was also very careful in helping us board and disembark safely. During the tour, we were pleasantly surprised to spot sea turtles and large coral fish, which delighted everyone on the trip.

A fantastic sunset cruise. There was a lot of food, with the option to add more to what we initially received. The service was incredibly friendly, and they even took family photos for us during the sunset. We highly recommend it!

Great 4.0
Stargazing at sea is an exciting activity, and listening to the shamisen being played in the dark, open ocean is also interesting and very pleasant. However, the stargazing experience was not ideal that night due to heavy cloud cover, and since the staff primarily spoke Japanese, I couldn't understand much of the content.

Awesome! My first experience was great! The shop confirmed my message early in the morning, but then overslept. We rushed to the shop, and they still let us reschedule. The coach even helped us take photos and immediately sent them to my phone. A wonderful experience!

Fantastic 5.0
Pros: Loved our tour of the Pumpkin Cave. Jumping off the pumpkin into the water fun! Kayaking was nice.
Cons: We could not take our camera and had to rely on the photos they took for us. Unfortunately their pictures aren't super great, some turned out ok, but most were grainy. It was crowded. Group after group went into the pumpkin cave.
