FAQ

Q: Who could attend this event?
A: Anyone in Okinawa.

Q: How do I communicate with the vendors?
A: Majority of vendors speak only Japanese. However, they make their offering intuitive and super easy to understand.

Q: Will USD or credit card be accepted?
A: It depends on the vendor. It is an event that is opened to everyone, so everything will be priced in Japanese yen. We will set up a cash register only for Oki Social affiliated vendors, and that cash register accepts USD, Yen, or credit card.

Q: Will there be parking spaces available?
A: Yes. There is a free parking lot outside the venue.

Q: Is this event kid friendly?
A: Absolutely. Not only there are so many vendors cater for children, and the venue itself is also designed with the safety of children in mind, with a central area for children to play. There will be live performances where children can actively participate.

Q: Is the event held indoor or outdoor?
A: Indoor. The event will not be affected by the weather.

Q: Can I bring food and drinks to the event?
A: Yes. However, there will be many local food vendors at the event. Don’t you want to try what they have to offer? There will be tables and chairs set up for your convenience, but they are set up for customers of the food vendors. Please be respectful to that hidden rule while enjoying your meal. There will be drink vending machines in the venue.
