Overview

Discover the soul of Okinawan cuisine on this private, fully customizable food tour of Naha led by a friendly government-licensed local guide. Okinawa's food culture is unlike anywhere else in Japan, shaped by centuries as the independent Ryukyu Kingdom and its warm tropical setting. On this relaxed walking tour you will stroll lively Kokusai Dori, explore the colorful stalls of Makishi Public Market, and wander the historic pottery lane of Tsuboya. Sample Okinawa soba, golden sata andagi, fresh sea grapes (umibudo), tender Agu pork, and refreshing local drinks while your guide shares the stories behind each dish. Because this is a private tour for your group only, the pace and the food are up to you, whether you crave street snacks, a cozy izakaya experience, or both. It is an authentic, personal, and delicious introduction to Okinawa for first-time and returning visitors alike. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
