I highly recommend Lola, a local guide in Okinawa. We found her through a guided tour by locals website, and she’s absolutely amazing. She customized our tour in Okinawa. Lola took us on a tour of Okinawa's World War II museums, and it was an incredible experience. She arranged our itinerary and was super accommodating to our preferences. She’s really knowledgeable about all the important sites; she shared fantastic insights into the Himeyuri Nurses Memorial Monument and Peace Museum, the Japanese Navy Underground Headquarters, and the Peace Memorial Park and Museum. Lola even took us on an impromptu trip to see some beautiful shrines and temples. It was a wonderful tour, and Lola is such a friendly and well-informed guide. We’ve already booked Lola for our next visit in autumn, and she has customized a tour for us to Shuri Castle, Okinawa World, Gyokusendo Cave, and a local food tasting in the city center in the evening.
