那覇一日自由行動で、識名園と首里城に行ってきました。地図上は近いようでも、高低差があって歩いて移動するのに難儀しました。途中に、識名宮という神社がありました。琉球王家と関係があるのでしょうが、詳しい由来などを知りたいものです。

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.

Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
