Effects of Heavy Rainfall in the Northern Area of Okinawa Main Island

Due to the heavy rain that fell mainly in the northern area of Okinawa Main Island from November 9 (Sat.) to 10 (Sun.), 2024, some facilities are closed, water is cut off, and traffic restrictions are in effect.

We ask that visitors planning to visit the northern area of the Okinawa main island (especially Kunigami, Higashi, and Ogimi villages, which are the hardest hit areas) to check local information on traffic and facility opening status before visiting the area.
