Southern Okinawa Cultural Bus Tour with Optional Naha Airport Drop-Off
Overall Rating
4.70Friendly bus guide and punctual schedule
Reviewed by: Adventurer , 2019/02/01Good service by the bus guide. If you do Nor speak Japanese, they will provide you with an audio of 4 other languages including English. The bus schedule was on time and the time spent at each attractions is enough to have a good experience.

Recommended for History lovers
Reviewed by: Kantheera, 2017/07/16I was a great half-day trip for those who have an afternoon flight or had no rental car like us!
All the attractions (Seifa-utaki, Okinawa world/Mibaru beach, and Himeyuri) are quite far from Naha city unless you rent a car. So I recommend this tour if you don't or can't drive.
Even though the tour guide doesn't speak English, she (if I'm not wrong, her name is Nakamura-san) did her best to help us, which I really appreciated,
But as it was a half-day trip, there was not much time, especially Okinawa World which we had only about an hour, so we only enjoyed the Cave, didn't actually spending time on the Village and snake museum. (alternatively, you can go the Mibaru beach instead - choose either)
Sata-andagi was given for free at Himeyuri too.
The cost doesn't include admission fees, but in total, it was an acceptable amount of money (Seifa-utaki=300yen, Okinawa World=1440yen(free pass), Himeyuri=310yen)
It was a memorable trip. I learned quite a lot about Okinawa History. However, i got burned a lot (it's a very hot summer anyway) so put on sunscreen and enjoy!

Value for money!
Reviewed by: Faith Cheong, 2017/05/06If you need to catch a noon flight out of Okinawa, I strongly recommend this tour. It allows storage of luggages and drops off at Naha Airport! Travelling to Sefa Utaki, Mibaru Beach or Okinawa World from Naha and to the airport would cost about as much, or even more, by bus. This is perfect and convenient.
The audio guide is not working for those of us who doesn't understand Jap though.

Good cost/performance
Reviewed by: Toorisugari, 2016/02/24Used this on my last day. They drop you off at the airport and let you keep your luggage on the bus, so you can wander around freely. We saw three different spots for just 1400 yen, so cheap!
Highly recommend.

Great budget tour of Okinawa
Reviewed by: UCCHANG, 2015/01/06Though I have visited Sefa-Utaki and the Himeyuri monument before, I decided to revisit them while listening to the explanation of the tour conductor. The fee for the tour was cheap at 900 Yen, so I was a bit skeptical about the quality when getting on the bus. After arriving at Sefa-Utaki we were asked about whether we wanted to visit Mibaru Beach or Okinawa World. I chose Okinawa World as I wanted to go to the Gyokusan Cave. Then we paid a visit to Himeyuri Tower then the airport, and finally ended at Palette Kumoji around 13:20.
As a number of people got off at the airport, I felt that many people participated in the tour before the they flew home.
Although had to get together kind of early in the morning and had to pay for the admission at each sightseeing spot, it was a good tour as we could around the sights efficiently.
Our guide this time joined the company in less than 1 year ago. She was so enthusiastic in her work. We felt her enthusiasm, which was contagious!
The price of the tour is cheaper than the bus that runs in the city, in fact it is an incredible deal. When you go sightseeing in southern Okinawa, I strongly recommend this half day tour.
