For Okinawa, the best time is from June to October. In January and February you can also see whales.

December, January, February and early March are somewhat cold (up to about -7°C in the coldest areas), but it is not extremely cold.

In Okinawa, ask about pickup and the agreed route for vehicle packages; guide-only service does not include transfers. In other cities, we are normally located close to your hotel.

Can I completely customize the tour?

Yes. Each tour is 100% private, so we can adjust the order, pace and locations depending on what interests you most.
