Shrine on the Cliff - Naminoue-gu Shrine

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Okinawa Naminoue Shrine is close to downtown Okinawa and has convenient transportation. If you drive, you can park at the shrine's dedicated parking lot. Take the monorail to Asahibashi Station and walk for about 20 minutes Or take bus No. 3 from Kokusai-dori to Seibumon Station and walk for 6 minutes. The main deities enshrined at Naminoue Shrine are Kumano Gongen, Hayatama Otoko (left shrine), and Kotokazu Otoko (right shrine), making it one of the eight major shrines in Ryukyu. The shrine is a traditional Ryukyu building, with the roof and beams in the red and orange colors unique to Okinawa. Two stone lions outside the main hall, with their fangs bared, guard the shrine. You can also buy special school bag amulets here! After visiting the Naminoue Shrine, you can also walk to the artificial beach next to it. The water is calm, making it a great place to play in the water or take photos for the internet in summer!
