This event has been cancelled because of inclement weather!

After the year end holiday season, the months of January and February are a bit slower on Okinawa, and that perhaps is a reason that many local municipalities organize their business fairs just then to promote their products and services before the start of the new tourist season.

Tomigusuku is one of the major fishery centers on the island.
