One-Group-Per-Day Private Ogimi Walking Tour

If we determine the weather is unsafe to conduct the walking tour, your booking will be canceled and you will receive a future credit valid for 18 months. Credits are fully transferable to a friend, family member, or someone from your community (e.g., Facebook group). In that case, please contact us at okinawahealingkitchen@gmail.com to update the participant’s details.

Because we host only one retreat or walking tour per day and prepare everything specifically for your visit, bookings are non-refundable. Your reservation blocks the entire day for your group, and we begin preparing ingredients, materials, and the schedule as soon as you book.

For this reason, we offer Future Credit instead of refunds.
✅ Cancellations made 9+ days in advance, due to illness (notified by the day before), or extreme weather may receive a credit valid for 18 months and transferable to someone else.

✅ Same-day cancellations, no-shows, and late arrivals are not eligible.

Unfortunately, no. Harrison is the sole guide for our tour, and to ensure both quality and safety, we limit the group size to a maximum of six participants.

You’ll get a guided walk through Ogimi’s beautiful village paths, learning about local history, culture, nature, and the secrets behind Ogimi’s Blue Zone lifestyle.

Absolutely! Children are welcome, though the walk may include some uneven ground, encounters with local wildlife, and unpredictable circumstances that come along with island life.

Unfortunately, we’re not able to arrange that.
We understand that many visitors come to Ōgimi, known as the “longevity village,” hoping to meet centenarians and hear their stories. However, from our experience, some elders have shared that they feel tired of being asked the same questions—like “What’s your secret to longevity?”—repeatedly.

We deeply respect their wish for a peaceful life. In fact, the local tourism association mentioned that in the past, some elders who hosted visitors experienced a decline in health afterward, as talking with strangers can take a lot of energy.

That said, we’re always happy to share their culture, stories, and the wisdom behind their longevity on their behalf through our wellness experiences. 🌿

Parts of Ogimi have slopes and uneven paths. Let us know your needs when booking, and we’ll do our best to adjust the route.

Of course! We love when guests capture the beauty of Ogimi. Just be respectful around local homes and sacred sites. Ask your guide for further details.

Please try to arrive on time. If you anticipate being late, contact us as soon as possible. Arrival more than 30 minutes after the scheduled time may result in cancellation.

Unfortunately, no. Haruka offers the 3-Hour Okinawa Wellness Retreat, which includes a cooking experience, but she does not offer lunch alone.
