    Okinawa Naha-shi Wakasa 1-25-5
    "This temple is located on Naminoue-dori Avenue in Wakasa, Naha City. Constructed in 1368, it is Okinawa's oldest temple and still exists today. The Shokanzeon bodhisattva-a work said to be from the Kamakura period-is venerated as the main deity. Adjacent to the grounds there stands a memorial tower ""Kozakura no To"" for the schoolchildren who were sacrificed with the evacuation vessel ""Tsushimamaru,"" which was sunk by the American army in 1944."

    波上宮のすぐ隣にあります。ぱっと見の外観はそれなりに近代的でそんなに特徴ないですが、沖縄に現存する一番古い寺院らしいです。現状では檀家さん向けなかんじであまり観光客にとって見どころ感はあまりない感じです。

    Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Shuriyamagawachou 3-1
    Shuri Kannon-do Temple, one of the 12 temples in Shuri, is a temple for the Rinzai sect Myoshinji school. The temple is officially called Jigen-in. In the Ryukyu Kingdom period, King Sho Kyu erected a goddess of mercy temple to celebrate the return of Prince Sashiki who was held hostage by the Satsuma Domain and built the Jigen-in to the south in 1618. It is a holy site for the worship of the goddess of mercy in Okinawa and the principal image is a Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara.

    首里城の近くにある臨済宗のお寺です。広い駐車場があります。1600年代に建てられたお寺で、本尊は千手観音です。

    Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Shurikinjouchou 1-2 In Shuri Castle Park
    Enkakuji Temple was a temple belonging to the Rinzai School of Buddhism, located just to the north of Shuri Castle. King Sho Shin (who laid the foundations for the Golden Age of the Ryukuan kingdom) ordered the temple built in imitation of the Enkakuji Temple in Kamakura. In 1933, the Temple’s Main Hall and Main Entrance were designated as National Treasures. The Temple was completely destroyed during the Second World War. The Main Gate and Hoshochi Pond have since been recreated.

    沖縄には、中国の影響を受けたと思われる、独自の文化を感じる場所がいくつもありますが、こちらのお寺は、純和風。黒瓦のお寺でした。

    Okinawa Naha-shi Shurisamukawa Cho 1-2

    首里城から丘陵沿いに、安里方面へ歩いて散策した際に、立ち寄りました。中国風と和風が混じり合う雰囲気のお寺さんです。一月ということで、初詣にいらしている方も見られました。訪問者用の駐車場には、軽自動車が並び、対して、奥の屋根付き駐車場には、立派なベンツが。沖縄風の石垣を使った鐘門は、見応えがあります。

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
