The Okinawa Qualifier takes place as part of the Uken Beach Festival, a community-driven outdoor event set along the Okinawan coastline.
Uken Beach Festival brings together music, youth culture, and sport in an open-air environment, reflecting the roots of street basketball as a game played beyond traditional arenas.
Hosting the King of the Court Japan Qualifier within the festival places competitive basketball directly inside a cultural setting, while maintaining the tournament's global structure and official rule set.
This qualifier operates as an official stop within the Japan Circuit, with advancement pathways identical to all other King of the Court events.
