Tips for Muslim visitors

Tokei, Peace and Tinu beaches in the north of Kouri Island are quiet beaches with no facilities or lifeguards.
Kouri Beach, at the base of the bridge, is the island's most popular beach.
Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
Restrooms for wudu can be far apart on trails. Many Muslim travellers carry a small water bottle for wudu.
Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Okinawa and the verified places to pray nearby.
Food stalls and shops near popular sights usually do not have halal certification. Check the ingredients, or choose from the verified places on this site.
