Okinawa is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Peace Memorial Park. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Kokusai Street, Naha alone was worth the trip, but combined with Peace Memorial Park this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
