Seitaro Sakugawa, American Forces Network Okinawa Secretary, shares cultural tips as a part of a 50-part Okinawa culture series to help Status of Forces Agreement personnel build positive relationships with local communities during the month of January 2026. One culture tip highlighted the use of dedicated bathroom slippers in Japan, which should be worn only inside the restroom. This custom is important for hygiene, creating a clear separation between the bathroom and other living areas, and it is expected to be observed in homes and some traditional establishments.
