WWII Okinawa Bunker Review - This was an awesome tour!! I learned so much through the time and was able to ask lots of questions . The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions. She suggested some movies to learn and see even more about Okinawa during WWII, which I watched and I feel a much deeper understanding because of this tour. Thank you for everything Kumiko!!
