Okinawa · Guide flies in
Okinawa was the Ryukyu Kingdom for 450 years and it still does not feel like the mainland — different music, different food, different manners, and water the colour of glass. A private car matters more here than anywhere: the island is long, the buses are rare, and the best places are unmarked.
Hour by Hour
A starting point, not a script. Every stop can be swapped, dropped or lingered over on the day.
From your Naha hotel or Naha Airport.
The Ryukyu royal seat, being rebuilt after the 2019 fire — you can watch the reconstruction from inside.
The expressway, then the sea road. Cape Manzamo’s elephant-trunk cliff on the way.
Okinawa soba, taco rice, or an agu pork set at a roadside station.
Whale sharks and manta rays in the largest tank of its kind. Deservedly the island’s most visited place.
Two kilometres of causeway over water so clear the reef reads through it.
A white lighthouse on a limestone cliff, and the East China Sea going gold.
Naha, or your resort in Onna.
Yes — bring the Alphard
There is no rail beyond the Naha monorail. Churaumi, Kouri and Zanpa are two hours apart and the buses are rare. The car is not optional here in any real sense.
Your guide flies in and an Alphard is chartered on the island. Flights quoted at cost.
Best March–June and October–November. Typhoon season is July–September — we will tell you honestly.
¥100,000 guide only — trains, walking and taxis at cost.
¥300,000 with the Alphard and driver, door to door — about ¥50,000 each with 6 of you.
¥500,000 guided by Master Ken himself, six days a month.
The Rate
Every one of them is one private group per day, priced for the group rather than per head.
The only question is whether you need the car — and on some days you genuinely do not.
We will tell you which.
BUSHIDO Guideガイドのみ
¥100,000per day · whole group · up to 6
Guide only · all 47 prefectures
Your own English-speaking guide for the day, anywhere in Japan. You travel by train, on foot and by taxi — we go where the rails already go well.
BUSHIDO Private車付き
¥300,000per day · whole group · up to 6
Guide + Alphard + driver
The full day, door to door. A private Toyota Alphard with its own driver, so six of you and six suitcases move as one — including the places the trains make painful.
A Day with Master Kenケン本人
¥500,000per day · whole group · up to 6
Kensuke Ueoka himself · 6 days a month
Ken guides a handful of days each month and no more. Kyudo 4th dan, calligraphy 6th dan, yabusame rider — the day is his practice, not a performance of it.
One flat price for the group — not per head. Two of you or six of you, the day costs the same.
Multi-day journeys are ¥300,000 per day, plus the guide’s accommodation (¥15,000–¥25,000 per night, at cost). Beyond 10 hours, ¥15,000 per hour.
