Step back in time on an E-bike journey through Shuri, the former capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
This tour takes you beyond Okinawa’s typical beach image and into its quieter, more authentic side.
As we ride through riverside paths, old stone steps, natural springs, and peaceful residential areas, you will discover a side of Okinawa that is rarely found in guidebooks.
Along the way, you will feel the sound of flowing water, the shade of lush green trees, and the atmosphere of old buildings that still carry traces of the Ryukyu Kingdom. This is a refreshing ride for both the body and mind, offering a deeper look into Okinawa’s nature, history, and everyday life.
※If the precipitation probability exceeds 70% or in case of severe weather, we may change plans. In this case, we will contact you the day before.
