Hi! I was born and raised in Okinawa, and I’m now raising my lovely son here. I lived in Brisbane, Australia, for about five years, and I absolutely loved my time there.

I love meeting new people, making them laugh, and helping them feel relaxed and comfortable. Seeing people enjoy their time makes me happy, too! 🙂

I’d love to help you have a fun and memorable time in Okinawa!

“I want you to know more of Okinawa, and fall in love with it.”
Kimiei Suzuki, Founder of CHURA TOUR

I moved to Okinawa planning to stay only briefly. The warmth of the people and the slower pace of life here pulled me in, and this is now my fifth year living here.

Working in Okinawa, I kept seeing travelers who couldn’t communicate at the market and missed out on the places and prices locals actually get. I started CHURA TOUR so that someone who truly lives here — like Atsuko, who you’ll meet above — could bridge that gap for you, instead of leaving it to a guidebook.

Good to know

Does the ¥7,500 include tasting and food costs?
The ¥7,500 covers your guide and the walk itself. Food and drinks along the way are paid separately, as you go — you only try (and buy) what you want.
Where exactly do we meet?
Tenbusu Naha (てんぶす那覇), 3-2-10 Makishi, Naha. Look for the red pillar under the big digital signboard, or the nearby symbol tree — your guide will confirm the exact spot before your walk.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain won’t cancel the walk — we’ll simply wait at the Naha City Tourist Information Center, just behind the signboard at the meeting point, and adjust as needed.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before your walk. We’re unable to offer refunds for cancellations made after that, including no-shows.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Your guide will check in with you about allergies and preferences at the start of the walk. All tastings are optional, so you only try what works for you.
