Maeda Highlands
Maeda Highlands, also known as Hakuso Ridge, is a dramatic clifftop landmark located in Urasoe City. This elevated coral limestone plateau rises approximately 60 meters above the East China Sea, offering unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding coastline. The site's Japanese name "Maeda" refers to the Maeda Cape area, while "Hakuso" translates to "white grass," describing the pale vegetation that once covered these windswept bluffs. The highlands hold profound historical significance as the site of intense combat during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. The escarpment served as a strategic defensive position, and remnants of the war including cave shelters and military fortifications can still be observed throughout the area. Today, the site functions as both a natural attraction and a place of remembrance, with several memorials honoring those who lost their lives during the Pacific War's final land battle.
Okinawa Army Hospital Haebaru Bunkers No.20
Okinawa Army Hospital Haebaru Bunker No. 20 is a preserved underground military hospital used by the Japanese Army during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. Visitors can walk through sections of the original tunnels and learn about the harsh conditions faced by medical staff and wounded soldiers during the final stages of the war. The site offers a powerful insight into Okinawa’s wartime history and the human cost of the conflict. Important: Advance reservations are required to visit the bunker. If you would like to include this site in your tour, please consult your guide in advance.

4.00The tour guide insufficient experience in two out of tour for Shikinaen Garden and Tsuboya Pottery museum walk. She may need to improve English for better explanation. Going around by taxi is not the best way for such type tour. Tour and activity provide need to review this tour itinerary. If the tourist has the time they may go around by themselves.

Naha 6hr Private Walking Tour with Government Licensed Guide w/ Hide

5.00Hide was very knowledgeable and flexible with my guided tour and I was able to learn a lot and experience places in Okinawa I would not have normally been able to go to. Hide even had a kind friend that was able to drive us around to areas that we wouldn't have been able to reach by the monorail, such as Mihama American Village, which added to the experience and positive memories from my trip to Okinawa. I would definitely recommend a guided tour, especially if you are lucky enough to get someone as knowledgeable, kind, and customer-service oriented as Hide.
Okinawa tour well done

5.00I visited many places during my short stay in Okinawa, organised very well by Aki-san. Her knowledge of Okinawa history made my visits to the ancient ruins here more meaningful.
This is the way to see Nara!
