The service staff can speak Chinese and ask questions. Everyone is very polite and the process is very pleasant. The braids are also very nice, and they will help guide you when taking photos. The props next to them can be used on both sides. I had a lot of fun with my friends, highly recommended👍

Took the sightseeing bus in Okinawa—highly recommend!
Super cute bus with fun Okinawa-style designs.
The podcast-style audio guide made the ride extra fun.
No rushing—plenty of time to enjoy each stop, try local food, and take photos.
Relaxing, easy, and perfect for travelers who don’t want the stress of a group tour.

Now the only things worth seeing are the sturdy walls and gates, but restoration work is progressing, and I'm looking forward to its completion next year. There was something called Shuri Soft. It's convenient to buy tickets online (KLOOK).

The driver will separate the luggage into two categories: one for Asahibashi Naha bus terminal; the other for the airport. Seats are free to sit. Buses on highways are only delayed by a few minutes

There is no tour guide on the itinerary, only a dedicated driver who takes you to various attractions responsibly. There is Wi-Fi on the bus, and you can use the app to get introductions to the attractions. Passengers then get on the bus at the designated time. It is considered an economical bus tour.
