Since its founding in 1958, Okinawa Tourist Service (OTS) has grown alongside the development of Okinawa’s tourism industry, guided by our philosophy: “Keeping our roots locally, reaching out to the world.” In the 1960s, we established a system to handle everything from planning and creating travel products to sales in-house, and in 1970, we opened OTS Rent-a-Car, the first car rental business in Okinawa Prefecture, anticipating changes in the times and expanding our business.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought unprecedented challenges to our business. Thanks to the unwavering support of our customers, business partners, local communities, and the dedication of every one of our employees, we were able to overcome this difficult period. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who stood by us.
In June 2026, OTS entered a new chapter by becoming a member of the Marubeni Group. By combining the trust and strong relationships we have built with our customers and local communities over many years with the Marubeni Group’s global network and extensive expertise, we are committed to contributing to the continued growth of Okinawa’s tourism industry and to building a sustainable regional community.
Looking ahead, we will continue to place our customers at the heart of everything we do, providing travel products and tourism services that create memorable journeys and meaningful experiences.
We aim to be a 100-year company that grows together with our communities, with the goal of improving the QOL (quality of life) of our customers, local communities, and everyone who works with us.
We sincerely appreciate your continued trust, support, and patronage as we move forward together.
