More Shrines

Third stop I forgot my camera in the bus, we weren't there long because everyone was hungry (went to huge Naha Jusco that felt like an American mall with a really cool entryway into the second floor restaurant area, all Okinawan oldschool). There were two sites right next to eachother, first had a shrine for praying for unborn babies (originally built to pray for babies they had to abort because they wouldn't be able to feed the child). This is the second half where there are three separate shrines in the one location, a confucious shrine, a shrine to the ocean goddess, and one to another god of fortune I think.

This is the drive down the road we took to get to the last stop on the tour. Romantic view.

It was a bit of a hike to this location, but it beats the hike that royalty took once a year to this shrine back in the day (10 days), and this is the original road, 600+ years old.

More road.

More road... at one point while walking this road there is a divot in the ground on the side of the road where the area received its only bomb from the war.
