Manzamo

The bus had comfortable seats with cup holders/hooks and a large luggage rack. The tour guide was great, explaining a basic history of Okinawa. I recommend bringing an umbrella/slippers. Unfortunately, I chose the worst weather day 😂, so the photos don't look great, but it must be beautiful on a sunny day. The price was also cheaper than taking the bus (3700 yen round trip to Naba + 2100 yen entrance fee). Just going to the aquarium alone cost HKD290.

Our tour guide, Ms. Lin, from Fujian, China, explained Okinawa's history and culture very carefully, and kindly reminded us of the meeting time at each attraction! The meeting time for the Churaumi Aquarium was 2:30 PM, but one solo traveler waited until the guide called him before rushing back to the meeting point, making the entire bus wait for him for 15 minutes!! He must have had some good luck with his driver and guide; another company would have abandoned him! If you're not planning on swimming, a 30-minute stop at Kouri Island is sufficient; however, a 1.5-hour stop at American Village is recommended, as a 1-hour stop will leave you with almost no shopping opportunities!

There was plenty of time at each attraction, making it very relaxing. The vehicles were new and had no unpleasant odors.

It was pretty good. Although the staff in the car didn't speak Chinese, we could communicate using a translator.
