Most pottery classes in Okinawa hand you clay and a wheel. This one starts with the town. You walk Tsuboya Yachimun Street, where Okinawan pottery has been made since 1682, and learn how to read what you are looking at: the colors, the shapes, and what each piece was made to do. Then you meet SAHIO, a working potter, in his own workshop at Niou-gama. He talks about the clay, the glazes, the firing, the failures, and what he is trying to keep alive. Only then do you sit at the wheel and shape your own cup, plate or bowl with his hands guiding yours. Groups are capped at six, so there is room to ask real questions. Your piece is fired over the following weeks and shipped to your home, so the experience arrives once more long after your trip has ended.

Great time with Ten!

Ten was an incredible guide! This entire excursion was seamless, and we saw clownfish and a sea turtle during our snorkel. Super friendly for first timers and experienced snorkelers alike! My husband and I have snorkeled in lots of other places and saw things we had never seen before here.

Great value for the experience

Okinawa Ishigaki Island Night Starry sky and Jungle night tour

奈津子中2026, Aug 2026

The 4th grade boys are very excited!

My son, a fourth grader, and his three parents and children participated. My son looked nervous at first, but as he drove down the road at night and listened to the tour guide explain, he seemed excited. As soon as we entered the course, we discovered creatures such as lizards and frogs. The adventure along the way, illuminated by lights, was just right, and my son was excited throughout! It was cloudy at the time of departure, but on the way out to the coast, there was a full starry sky! I was impressed by this. We were very happy to see the coconut crabs and have the family take a photo with us.

Okinawa Hip-Hop Bus C Course Tour to Northern Island

Roving30706776252, Aug 2026

It was a tour of the northern areas.

Getting from Naha to Cape Hedo, which is really the northernmost point, is quite time-consuming and difficult on a regular bus, but this tour allows you to tour all the major sights in the northern area, including Cape Hedo, in one day. The length of stay per location was also moderate, too short. I also enjoyed traveling while watching the nature of Okinawa: beautiful sea and green mountains. The lunch meal was a set meal where you can enjoy seafood and was delicious. It was a popular restaurant that quickly filled up with regular customers after we entered. They also served us snacks in the car that were kind to our tired bodies. Buses are also widely spaced from the seats in front of you so you can sit with your legs stretched out. Even more pleasingly, each seat had an electrical outlet. Thank goodness you can charge your phone there! Even if I took a lot of photos at tourist spots and used up my battery, I was able to recover on the move. If the price of the meal and admission to various places are also this price by word of mouth, I think it is a pretty good tour. It was my first bus tour and I was very happy. However, if you dare to state the risks, the main thing is to take a walk on Amsui Hike, so satisfaction is likely to change depending on the weather. I was lucky to have good weather.

Outstanding tour of Okinawa with Mr Hyde

Outstanding day in Naha with Mr Hyde. Communications were excellent before and during tour. Seamless pickup at the port. We saw and learned a lot about the history and culture of Okinawa and its strategic importance today. Mr Hyde shared his personal stories of life after WW2. The Navy underground Headquarters is amazing as well as the peace memorial & museum. Both are very well done. The car was spotless and very comfortable. We highly recommend this tour as top notch way to see and understand the relationship of Okinawa to Japan, the region and the world.

All-Inclusive Ishigaki Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

Kara_H, Apr 2026

Super-fun tour!

Sander was an awesome tour guide. He was flexible, enthusiastic and loads of fun. The spider monkey experience was probably my favorite thing I’ve done in Japan. Sander helpfully took a bunch of pictures during our tour and sent them to us afterwards which was great because he got fun action shots that we couldn’t get ourselves. The glass bottom boat was interesting but a little sad because there was so much dead coral. Sander picked out the most beautiful spots on the island to share with us. He also had made videos for us to watch between stops that were informative and showed some great drone footage of the island. We couldn’t be happier.

I did this tour with my mum, and we had the pleasure of being guided around the beautiful sights of Ishigaki by Steph! Steph was absolutely amazing, she is energetic and a lovely person to chat with. If you want to know more about the island's nature and history or even about living in Ishigaki, then she is definitely the person to ask. We had an amazing time! Thank you, Steph! 🥰
