Great experience, very relaxed the whole process driver fixed point will hold sign boarding time, very suitable for people who do not want to drive themselves

The pick-up point was easy to find, the staff were very welcoming, and the driver was very steady. Gangala Valley is a new attraction, located next to Okinawa World. Although the entire tour is conducted in Japanese, including the tour leader who speaks only Japanese, it doesn't affect Taiwanese participants. The tour leader ensures that foreigners understand the meeting times. The guided tour of Gangala Valley is also entirely in Japanese, but a paper translation with Chinese is provided, and the guide carefully explains which item they are currently explaining. The forest is very cool in the hot weather. The tour includes a bottle of iced drink in a stainless steel bottle, which is a bit heavy and can be carried diagonally. You don't need to bring too much of your own water to avoid adding too much weight.

I had a great time! The Ryukyu Kingdom had snake and taiko drum performances, and there were also many handicraft workshops where you could experience different things, like selecting pearls, doing indigo dyeing, and making your own pottery – it was really fun!

My first trip to Okinawa was a 2-day independent tour of the northern and central regions, and I highly recommend it if you don't have a car! ❤️ We met at the department store entrance in the morning. On the first day, we were given two rice balls and some limited-edition local herbal tea at the aquarium. The second day's lunch in the central region was so beautiful and relaxing! Lunch included a burger, and after lunch, we could take a walk on the beach, though it was incredibly hot 🤣🤣 In the afternoon, we had three hours for shopping, and they even gave us an ice cream roll (some flavors required an extra charge). The shopping center was amazing! Three hours for shopping felt a bit short 😆. I'm planning to go back to Okinawa again in 2028 when my child turns five, and I'll definitely buy tickets then.
