At this time, measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are continuing not only in Japan but in countries around the whole world. Our time spent at home has increased due to travel restrictions and requests for self isolation. We have prepared a stay home program that allows you to enjoy Okinawa while staying at home which will give you a sense of self healing during this difficult time.
We look forward to seeing you in Okinawa soon once the effects of COVID-19 have come to an end.
