Do you know? Okinawa trivia [Typhoon]

Speaking of Okinawa in summer, the sunshine, the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea shining in emerald green. If this is a positive image, then
The top of the negative image is the typhoon. If you come to Okinawa for sightseeing and encounter a typhoon, you won't be able to see it. It's going to be messed up.
However, for local people, typhoons have not only negative sides but also positive aspects. One of them is tap water.
Okinawa sometimes suffers from water shortages, but typhoon rain accumulates in dams and tap water is secured.
In recent years, the number of water outages has decreased, but about 10 years ago it was said that when a typhoon came, it was said that water cutoff. 

On the other hand, when a storm warning is issued, the school will be closed, so children are delighted. In addition, when the bus stops, most of the workplace is closed, so some adults make guts poses guts poses (laughs).
It has been said for a long time, not going to the sea, etc.
Also, Okinawa has long been called Typhoon cuisine. Typical is Hirayachi, where flour is melted in water and seasoned with salt and baked thinly like crepe.
Somin Champloo, which stir-fry somen, and fuchamploo, which uses fu instead of meat and tofu. I'm just making it with a match, but
Some Okinawans are looking forward to these dishes during the typhoon. 

But. Let's enjoy the typhoon for sightseeing visitors! Because it's impossible to say. So, I will teach you the minimum measures! 

 First of all, collect information as soon as possible! 

While checking the website of the Japan Meteorological Agency and news in Okinawa Prefecture, looking into arranging airplanes and lodgings, the typhoon is approaching.
As soon as you find out that you're likely to be in a hotel, go to a supermarket or convenience store to procure food. 

The aim is bread. It lasts a few days after being eaten without heating. In fact, the locals are about to get a typhoon.
We'll run to buy bread. It may be sold out, so let's go as soon as possible.
Let's secure drinking water, too. Most of the hotels are equipped with private power generators, so there is no problem.
There may be power outages in small guesthouses, inns, guesthouses, etc.
In that case, the water pump will also stop, so the water supply will not be applied because there is a risk of water cut off.
Also, save water if it is a bathtub or a bucket.
If you do this, you can wash your hands and face, take a light shower, even if you cut off the water.
It can also be used for toilet water. Also, in the event of a power outage, there is a possibility that it will take some time to recover, so it is better to charge your smartphone as much as possible.
 

If you can drink it, it's a good idea to buy a drink. If there is a power outage, you can't watch TV, and if you don't do it, you can drink and pass the time. 

Some large hotels have an indoor pool, kids' land, and a cultural experience corner.
It can be enjoyed regardless of the weather outside, so children can spend time on family trips and without boring.
If you want to spend quiet time in your room, you can read books, magazines, free papers, newspapers, etc. that are unique to Okinawa.
It's quite interesting to be touched by unexpected information. 

Basically, please check the weather information frequently. If you get a storm warning, don't go out. 

If you can't enjoy sightseeing, it's still sad even if you get injured.
Typhoons are usually said to occur frequently from July to October.

Since the sea is rough, it also affects marine leisure. Just because the typhoon has left does not mean that it can be resumed immediately.
If you have a marine leisurely reservation, please check directly. 

Let's collect information before you go to the airport. It is a good idea to check the service status and cancellation rules on the website of the airline you booked.
There are no accommodation facilities at Naha Airport, so if you need to extend your stay, you will need to arrange it yourself.
