Activity
Experience Okinawa on a small group tour! We’ll take you to spots that you wouldn’t be able to see without a guide.
The tour is limited to 5 participants, creating a private atmosphere where you can experience Okinawa more intimately.
You will walk through the narrow streets of Naha, witnessing the untouched scenery while getting a glimpse of Okinawa's daily life.
Anyone can participate as long as they can ride a bicycle
Conquer Okinawa's hills with ease on our electric assist bicycles (E-bikes)! No need to worry about your fitness level - as long as you can ride a bike, you can join.
We have a variety of bike types to choose from, including those with child seats, so the whole family can enjoy the ride!
Tour the Eto (Chinese Zodiac) shrines and ride through the backstreets of Shuri on a bicycle!
Explore the streets of Shuri on an electric bicycle, visit temples connected to the Chinese zodiac and history from the Gusuku period to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and enjoy an immersive cycling adventure through Okinawa.
Even if it rains, we have activities ready for you to enjoy Okinawa!
Okinawa's weather can be quite unpredictable. If there's a high chance of rain, we will switch to a walking tour around Naha.
Although the tour area will be somewhat smaller, you'll still experience Okinawa's culture from the Ryukyu Kingdom era, the history from immediately after World War II to the present, and enjoy the island's delicious food, just like on the cycling tour!
For your safety, we'll provide you with intercom-equipped helmets.
Our intercom-equipped helmets allow you to communicate with the guide and other participants while you're riding. Information that might be difficult to convey through hand signals alone can be easily communicated via the intercom-equipped helmet, ensuring quick updates in sudden situations and providing peace of mind.
Additionally, you can chat as if you're just taking a casual walk, making for a fun and lively tour.
