We had a truly special trip, during which we experienced so many firsts. The whole trip felt unique and off the beaten tourist track. Our time in Tokyo, surrounded by tourists, really highlighted just how special and intimate the time on the Okinawa and Ishigaki islands was. Our cultural excursions were of such a high quality compared with anything you can book yourself online. Having our CEO open the door into this amazing culture was invaluable to us and allowed us to access many experiences that would not have been available without a guide.
