Karaté history tour

Published on Feb, 2024

The tour is just great, so intense in history and Carlo did a fantastic job, showing masters graves, recalling past events and the visit of the Okinawa karate Kaikan is really rich in informations of all kind: pictures, books, video, material for training etc.

Absolutely incredible experience

Published on Nov, 2023

This tour was amazing. Carlo was an absolutely incredible host - very well informed and willing to answer all our questions. Learning about the history of karate and it’s influence was fascinating. The kaikan was the highlight for us. The local lunch was incredible as well

Best tour in Okinawa

Highly, highly recommend this tour for karate enthusiasts.....Carlo was amazing....took us to Karate Museum, visited the training studio of a black belt 10th degree master (a highlight!!!!) , shrines of great past masters, excellent sushi lunch, beautiful scenic views of Okinawa, tour of Naha and even souvenir shopping......excellent for individuals, couples or entire family....a must see when you are in Okinawa .

Fantastic Experience

Published on Aug, 2023

The tour was INCREDIBLE!!! Carlo went above and beyond to accommodate me. He made my trip to Okinawa fantastic!! I learned so much about the birthplace of Karate and saw so many incredible places and memorabilia. What a wonderful experience, mostly thanks to Carlo. You can tell he really cares about people and will do everything possible to make sure you have the most incredible experience. One of the best tours I’ve taken in my life and by far the best tour guide I’ve ever had up until now. Thank you again Carlo, I really appreciate what you did for me!!
