I'm Korean and came to Okinawa with my husband and parents. We signed up for this Southern Okinawa tour, which only offered one Korean-language tour and was sold out. I don't understand a word of Chinese or Japanese, only a little English, but the guide used a phone app to translate the necessary information, such as "This tour is in Chinese" and "Be careful with your valuables." Departure times at each attraction were clearly indicated on large signs, making it easy to follow. She even double-checked the information. The Chinese explanations were explained through the app, so I could understand most of what was being said! We were able to contact the guide through the Line app. Dropping off at each attraction was great because we had free time, and the bus was incredibly quiet! I was a bit anxious before the tour, but it was a great tour for us since we hadn't rented a car. We especially loved being able to visit the Itoman Market and the outlet mall. I highly recommend the glass-bottom boat! We were traveling in January, so I thought snorkeling would be difficult, but the glass-bottom boat showed us plenty of fish and even saw sea turtles. It was a truly enjoyable tour.

Before departure, a LINE group was created to keep contact information, and the meeting time and location were clearly stated. On the day of departure, finding the meeting point was easy, so there was no confusion. Tour guide Zhihong provided detailed explanations and even helped with taking photos, making this trip not only about sightseeing but also about learning about history and culture. The beauty of Yuquan Cave is definitely worth seeing. Although it was a group tour for individual travelers, everyone was punctual. While the itinerary was a bit tight, it covered many places, perfectly solving the transportation problem. This trip left us with many wonderful memories.

The park is larger than I imagined. Once you enter Yuquan Cave, there is no turning back. Walk to the deepest part of the park. After leaving Yuquan Cave, walk back to the exit from the very end of the park. It is recommended to allow at least two hours. If you are bringing children or elderly people, you will need 3 hours!

I bought my ticket while waiting for the bus on the day I went, and received the voucher before arriving, which I could use immediately. At the venue, I could redeem the ticket by scanning the QR code – very quick! The place is quite extensive, with performances and interactive experiences available for an additional fee. It's perfect for spending half a day exploring; it has a cultural village feel to it.

The vehicle was clean and tidy, the driver was punctual and polite, and he would point out the tour route, making it convenient for families with both elderly and young members.
