イーチャリティ那覇国際通り本店

Our knowledgeable staff will escort you during the Okinawan sunset, offering exclusive access to lesser-known destinations.



Please meet us at the shop located near the Makishi Monorail station. This convenient location is approximately one minute away from the station, making it easily accessible for visitors. Upon arrival, guests may pick up their bicycles, accompanied by our briefings designed to ensure safe and enjoyable cycling experiences.

Yachimun, derived from the term "pottery," symbolizes the rich cultural heritage of Okinawa. Originating over three centuries ago, this region was home to scattered pottery kilns that were subsequently united under the Ryukyu Kingdom's jurisdiction. Today, Yachimun remains a testament to this historical legacy, celebrated as a village renowned for its ceramics.

Upon entering the village, guests will traverse winding paths that offer a glimpse into the past, particularly those with a nostalgic ambiance exclusive to bicycles. These routes provide an authentic representation of Okinawan life, allowing visitors to appreciate the unique daily rhythms of the island.

A short journey leads to Naha's historic core, characterized by several remaining traditional houses that evoke the essence of Okinawa's rural charm. During this exploration, tourists will find themselves immersed in the vibrant tapestry of Okinawan culture, experiencing the tranquil ambience of ancient temples and sacred shrines.

The itinerary continues with a visit to Shuri Castle Town, serving as the former capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Here, cobblestone streets, ornate temples, and revered shrines invite visitors to delve deeply into the spiritual and architectural splendor of the Ryukyu Dynasty era. This period offers a profound insight into the religious practices of Okinawa, blending indigenous beliefs with influences from neighboring cultures.

Guided by our expertise, we shall lead you to a panoramic vantage point offering spectacular views of Okinawa City. From this elevated perch, the sun sets majestically over the horizon, creating a mesmerizing scene that captures the essence of the region's natural beauty and urban dynamism.

Proceeding towards Shuri Castle Park, guests will admire the lush flora that flourishes seasonally, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the park's expansive grounds. The illuminated stone walls and Shureimon gate add an enchanting touch to the otherwise unexplored vistas, presenting a picturesque tableau that showcases the craftsmanship and aesthetics of Okinawan architecture.

Lastly, the evening concludes with a stroll through the Anzato Shotengai, a historically significant area now known as the "red-light district." In the late afternoon, this neighborhood transforms into a bustling hub of nightlife, brimming with izakayas and other dining establishments. A delightful option would be to revisit this area for dinner or post-tour refreshments.

After concluding our guided tour, guests are kindly invited to return their bicycles and join us at the end of the day. Enjoy exploring the city of Naha independently, savoring the diverse offerings available within the vibrant and culturally rich environment of Okinawa.
