Kintsugi class was fun and educational! The staff was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. Studio was easy to find and very pretty. Bonus that you get to take home your piece of art! Definitely recommend!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately my paint tube was almost empty at first, which made painting difficult, but after I asked the staff refilled it and it became easier. We could choose between a deep blue glass color or a red one. Some of the paint came out more easily, some was rather difficult. You don't interact much with the staff, you can always ask if you need anything but normally you're left to your own to paint in peace.

I was recommended this experience by a nice lady in Osaka and I couldn't thank her enough. I had so much fun painting my Shisa to my liking. I just would have liked to get a bit of history about Shisas even as a printout. The staff was very nice and accommodating.

It was a unique experience. I was the only customer and was given close guidance in making the necklace. Although the staff could not really speak English, there was an instruction sheet in English and she tried her best to communicate with me. I was also served a cup of tea and cookie at the end of the workshop.

What a pleasure to meet Our guide: Taiji Yamakawa! My son and I took a bucket list trip to Okinawa and wanted to learn more about the Kendo martial art. This Kendo experience was very informative, intimate, and great exercise too! Our guide explained to us the practices of Kendo and the importance of respect and to be passionate with the movements and sounds. We were fitted with our Dogi and Hakama (Kendo upper and lower garments) and taught step by step basic moves, stances, parts of our equipment, and how to use the Shinai (bamboo sword) If you are not Japanese speaking, it would be hepful to bring a translator tool to ask more in depth questions. We have gained so much respect for this martial art and the skill and discipline it takes. This IS a very physical activity, so stay hydrated and prepare to sweat! Next, it was time to battle each other and put all the moves together! Thank you for such a memorable experience Taiji! We look forward to hearing about your championships!

I booked a Kerama Islands snorkeling plus sea turtle swimming package via Klook, with Miegusuku Port as the meeting point. I self drove so I did not use the provided pick up service, and parking at the port is chargeable. Check in started around 8.20am.
Onboard, all equipment such as wetsuits, masks, fins, and life jackets were provided, along with a safety briefing and optional add ons like banana boat rides, jet ski activities, and GoPro rental. The boat reached the snorkeling site in about 20mins, where we entered the water in guided groups. After an initial session and a short break on the yacht with tea provided, participants split into different activity groups.
The sea turtle experience involved a short banana boat ride to a nearby spot, where staff first checked for turtles before we snorkelled in the area, followed by additional free snorkeling nearby. We returned to the yacht around 11.00am and arrived back at port at about 11.50am, with equipment cleaned on board.

Great experience, just need to head to the counter at the port and the staff will issue the ferry tickets accordingly. likewise when we reached Tokashiki Island, there was someone to pick us up. itinerary wise is quite relax as our snorkeling was at 12.30pm, so we had some time to spend at the beautiful beach since we reached around 10.15am. snorkeling experience was great too for a first timer like myself - all the equipment was provided and the instructors were experienced to show us where to look for turtles and fishes etc. was very lucky that the waters were clear and we could see many fishes too!

The trip was wonderful: everything was quick, you don't even notice the heat, everyone was very polite, and the guides were simply amazing (they showed us everything, told us stories, helped with masks and fins, and even brought up starfish from the seabed). We felt like we were in the movie "The Little Mermaid."
Naha at a glance
Quick facts about Naha
General info
What to know before visiting Naha
Quick snapshot of Naha and what to expect
Naha’s top bookings cluster around tours, cruises and museums, with cultural experiences and outdoor activities also popular — the city’s calendar shows a strong summer surge. Demand peaks in July and falls off in September and October, so the rhythm of the year swings between lively summer months and much quieter autumn weeks.
When to visit and how prices move
According to Klook booking data, July is the busiest month while demand drops to its lowest in September and October. Prices peak a little later: August is typically the priciest month for activities, while December is usually the cheapest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in December or the quieter autumn months; for full summer atmosphere and the highest activity choice, aim for July–August. Note that demand and prices diverge slightly here — demand tops out in July but prices reach their high in August.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers from the United States book around five days ahead, with many purchases still possible a day before travel and some booking much earlier. If you’re flexible, you can safely plan a short-notice itinerary and book a few days out; if you’re travelling in peak summer months, allow more lead time and lock in popular tours earlier. Use Klook to compare options and secure several must-do experiences in advance so you don’t miss out during busy periods.
