Do you know? Okinawa Tips [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 first of the negative image is the typhoon. If you come to Okinawa for sightseeing and encounter a typhoon, you will not be able to see it. The trip is messed up.
However, typhoons are not only negative, but also positive for the locals. One of them is tap water.
Okinawa can sometimes be hit by 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, when a typhoon came, it was said that water was cut off. 

On the other hand, the children are delighted because the school is closed when a storm warning is issued. In addition, when the bus stops, most workplaces are closed, so some adults don't care about guts poses (laughs).
It's been said for a long time that you don't go outside or go to the sea.
Also, Okinawa has long been called a typhoon dish. Typical examples are Hirayachi, where flour is dissolved in water, seasoned with salt, and baked thinly like crepes.
Somin Champloo, which fry somen, and Fu Champloo, which uses fu instead of meat and tofu. I'm just making it with the same thing.
Some Okinawan people are looking forward to these dishes during the typhoon. 

But. Let's enjoy the typhoon to tourists! It's impossible, isn't it? 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, and considering arranging airplanes and lodgings, the typhoon approaches.
If you find that you're going to be in a hotel, go to a supermarket or convenience store to procure food right away. 

The aim is bread. It can be eaten without heating and lasts a few days. In fact, when a typhoon is about to come, the locals are about to come
I'm going to buy bread first. It may be sold out, so let's go as soon as possible.
Let's secure drinking water. Most hotels are equipped with private power generators, so there is no problem.
There may be power outages at small guesthouses, inns, guesthouses, etc.
In that case, the water pump will stop, so the water supply will not be applied because the water supply may be cut off.
Also, if it is a bathtub, a bucket, etc., store water.
If you do this, you can wash your hands and face, take a light shower, even if the water is cut off.
It can also be used for toilet water. Also, if there is 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, you may buy some alcohol. If there is a power outage, you can't watch TV, and if you don't do it, you can drink and spend your time. 

Some large hotels have indoor pools, kids land, and cultural experience corners.
It can be enjoyed regardless of the outside weather, so children can spend time on family trips without getting bored.
If you want to spend time quietly in your room, you can read books, magazines, free papers, newspapers, etc. that are unique to Okinawa in advance.
It's quite interesting to be exposed to unexpected information. 

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

If you can't enjoy sightseeing, it's even more sad if you get injured.
Typhoons are usually occurring from July to October.

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

Let's gather information before going to the airport. It is a good idea to check the service status and cancellation rules on the website of the airline you have reserved.
There are no accommodation facilities at Naha Airport, so if you need to stay longer, you will need to arrange your own.
