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.

Experience: We decided to explore at night on a whim after arriving in Miyako, so our evening wouldn't be boring. It turned out to be an incredibly amazing experience! We stumbled upon a gathering of coconut crabs on the island and encountered these rare creatures on rocks, in trees, and even on the sidewalks! There were also many other fascinating and wild small animals, cute frogs, hermit crabs, stick insects, and butterflies sleeping at night! The kids had an absolute blast!
Location: This is the most crucial part, as it’s difficult to get a taxi at night. This company provides hotel pick-up and drop-off services! This saves a lot of time and energy!
Instructor: We had TAKU, who provided patient and detailed explanations in English throughout the tour. His English wasn't too difficult to understand, so feel free to give it a try! He was super patient with the kids! So much so that when I wanted to book a snorkeling trip the next day and found out TAKU was also a guide for that, I immediately booked it! An excellent guide makes the trip easy and enjoyable! TAKU is very conscientious and responsible, and he has a WeChat contact that you can use to reach him and he'll also send you travel photos. After booking, specify in the email that you need to contact them via WeChat. They will contact you later, so don't worry. (Since I booked on the same day, I couldn't log in to WhatsApp, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to reach them, but Klook's customer service helped me follow up, and they quickly contacted me via WeChat.)
Equipment: For the night tour, they provide mosquito repellent and headlamps. You don't need to bring anything except a bottle of water, as you might get thirsty while walking. Shorts and a T-shirt are also fine; there's no danger.

Our guide, Sebastian, is incredibly kind. He meticulously checked our boot sizes to ensure we were comfortable. Upon arrival, he tirelessly walked with us, providing detailed explanations, so we could see more insects, coconut crabs, and stars! Thanks to Sebastian, I saw my first scorpion. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories with our children! I highly recommend the Jungle Night Tour – be sure to experience it!

Taketomi Island is an extremely serene island, and the water buffalo cart experience is very special. I highly recommend spending a whole day on Taketomi Island to thoroughly explore all the island's attractions. The beaches are stunning (unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to fully explore them).

I recently participated in a jungle tour in Miyakojima, and it was a more satisfying activity than I could have imagined! The guide was very friendly and explained the nature, flora, and fauna of Miyakojima in an easy-to-understand manner, so it wasn't just a walk but felt like a "learn and enjoy" experience. The course itself wasn't too strenuous, and I think even beginners can participate with peace of mind. During the tour, I was able to experience rare plants that I don't usually see and "another nature" of Miyakojima. Miyakojima has many marine activities, but this tour, where you can feel the tranquility and power of the jungle, was a truly valuable experience. There are many photo spots, so it is definitely recommended for people who love nature! If you want to know the charm of Miyakojima, not just the sea, please join us.

My 11-year-old daughter loves sharks and we came to Okinawa specifically to swim with whale sharks. She successfully experienced the fun of diving and saw real whale sharks up close! Thanks to the kind Alen, the instructor, who explained everything in Chinese, making us feel very secure. I recommend renting a camera; the instructor will help take photos and videos, and you can take the memory card with you afterward. A wonderful memory! 👍🏻

This nighttime safari was very cool. We were able to see a lot of coconut crabs and other inhabitants of the Iriomote jungle! We don't recommend it for arachnophobes because there are literally spiders everywhere, their bodies shine slightly in the moonlight. The only two downsides to the activity were the cloudy sky preventing us from fully enjoying the stars and the fact that the guide only partially spoke English. He still made a lot of effort to make sure we understood as much as possible, even using Google Translate when he couldn't find his words.

Very satisfying experience, the leader was interesting, not only took us up the small hill to see the starry sky, but also lucky enough to meet the coconut crab, also taught us how to take pictures of the beautiful night sky! Before setting off, I was worried about how to meet up. It turned out that I just needed to follow the map provided by Klook to the meeting point and you would see the leader

The first floor is a store with reasonable layout. If you like a wallet, you can take it home. You can take pictures in the store. The service staff on the first floor will lead you to the stairs on the second floor. The second floor is the hand-made area. The instructor was very polite and tried hard to tell us the order and precautions of hand-made in English. She also tried to tell us how to improve, but we didn't understand it all. Finally, when the time is up, the bag will be filled with hand-made works, and a note will be given and explained once in advance.

This experience were amazing. You had an English speaking Japnese guide who gave you clear instructions how to make the Kintsugi. At the beginning you could choose your own small plate or bowl and was show to your own work station there you were guided through various steps what to do as well as got to know how real Kintsugi are done by using the Urashi Tree sap. I. short a amazing and fun experience.
experience: amazing
instructor: Clear and very helpful
location: Easy to find via Google maps very spacious studio with good ventilation.
