Čo robiť v American Village

Vápencové jaskyne Gyokusendo v Okinawa World sú veľmi pôsobivé a tradičné vystúpenie bubeníkov Taiko je tiež nezabudnuteľné. Ak nechcete ísť do akvária, môžete sa rozhodnúť pre nákupy v obchodnom centre. Itinerár je veľmi flexibilný a môžete si ho prispôsobiť podľa svojich preferencií. Ostrov Senaga má nádhernú scenériu a je skvelým miestom na fotografovanie; morské plody na rybom trhu Itoman sú čerstvé a chutné, čo zaručuje veľkú spokojnosť. Aplikácia Funpass poskytuje veľmi podrobné vysvetlenia! Veľmi odporúčam jednodňový výlet Klook na južnú Okinawu. Celý itinerár je bohatý a dobre naplánovaný, čo šetrí veľa času na dopravu a prestupy, vďaka čomu je celá cesta ľahká a príjemná.

Toto je to najlepšie, čo som mohol vybrať len na dva celé dni na Okinave (Japonsko). Sprievodcovia boli absolútne úžasní, priateľskí a veľmi milí. Tieto zájazdy by som vrelo odporučil každému. Vybral som si 2-dňový zájazd (severná a južná Okinava) a nebol som sklamaný. Mimochodom, nehovorím po mandarínsky (čínsky), ale všetko som si prekladal cez mobilný telefón! Počas oboch dní bolo veľa aktivít.

We booked this itinerary in advance (we were the first ones to book) for the three of us, but when we arrived, we found there were only two parking spaces. It feels like there might be some issues with how the website handles this. However, our tour guide, Ms. Ishikawa, was a 10/10! She was great at thinking on her feet and felt like a classic 'J' type personality who managed the schedule exceptionally well, making us feel completely at ease. She provided commentary throughout the trip on the best ways to shop, what local specialties to buy, and explained local transportation and culture. It felt like listening to an engaging radio broadcast—we learned so much! She also recommended restaurants (we tried them and all agreed they were delicious!). The tour guide added tremendous value to this trip 👍 It makes me want to do another guided day tour in the future~~

Luna, the guide, accompanied me wonderfully throughout the excursion planned for a Chinese group that I had joined because I couldn't find a similar excursion in English. It was a very nice trip, Luna was attentive and provided lots of anecdotes along the way (thanks to the phone translator, haha). Sometimes it's frustrating to stay such a short time in certain favorite spots, but without this excursion, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see them.

It was a fantastic experience, driving go-karts at full speed through Kokusai Street and Senaga Island. Even though only two of us participated that day, our guide was very enthusiastic and constantly helped us take photos. I'd love to do it again next time I visit Okinawa! ^o^

Sprievodkyňa Minami bola veľmi svedomitá a oddaná svoju práci, celý denný program mala perfektne zorganizovaný a počas celej cesty nám podrobne a zaujivo hovorila o zvykoch a kultúre Okinawy. Bol to nezabudnuteľný zážitok.

The tour was very nice. The guide was there mostly for coordination, as all the tour explanations are provided through the excursion company's app. There is commentary throughout the entire journey, not just at the specific tour locations, and it is available in many languages. So even though the tour is advertised as 'English-speaking,' I got all the explanations in French on my phone. It's always a bit frustrating to stay at the various locations for such a short time; throughout the day, you spend a lot of time on the bus compared to the time spent at the different spots, but that's just how it goes. Without this tour, I wouldn't have been able to get to these places on my own.

The southern tour itinerary is very comfortable, and the distance between stops is much shorter than in the northern part, so there is almost enough time to explore everywhere. It is very easy to find the tour guide at the meeting point. Mr. Guan's explanations were friendly and interesting, helping us better understand local Okinawan culture. The glass-bottom boat costs an additional 2000 yen, but the underwater views are incredibly clear and well worth recommending. Shopping is a choice between the OUTLET and iias; choosing iias means slightly less shopping time in order to pick up the OUTLET group on the way back, but you get a good ice cream discount coupon. The DMM aquarium is next to iias, and discounted tickets are also available. Since there are many interactive activities inside, it is totally fine to separate from the group and stay longer to explore and play. However, Senagajima island next is truly beautiful with the sunset, and if you get tired of walking, you can soak in the free foot bath to relax.

Minami-san je skvelá sprievodkyňa! Poskytla vysvetlenia ku každému miestu v angličtine a čínštine, vďaka čomu bol celý výlet príjemný! Prvá zastávka Manzamo a pláž Kaori trvali po 30 minút, zatiaľ čo akvárium Churaumi 3,5 hodiny, posledná zastávka American Village 1 hodinu, pričom si môžete vybrať, či sa vrátite bez autobusu! V American Village som si pri informačnom centre vyskúšal banánový mliečny koktail. Vďaka vodičovi za bezpečnú jazdu a presnosť!
