This website is managed by the travel agency "Online Travel Co., Ltd." operating more than 30 years since the establishment.
We have been providing tours to Okinawa to more than 1 million people. However,since Okinawa has countless islands and tourisr spots, there are still a lot of attractive things which are yet to be shared. And still, there are a lot of people who have never been to Okinawa.
Due to the above fact, we have opened this "Okinawa Labo" with our desire to make more people love Okinawa, and actually make them go to Okinawa.
With our long experience, we go gather information, take photos, and share the real and detailed information!
If we could make you feel like "I want to visit Okinawa" or "I like Okinawa more than before" by reading our articles, nothing would make us happier than that.
