Seifa-Utaki

Halfway up the walk to the shrine is the place where the men stay, they are not allowed to continue where the priestesses go.

The road splits and to the left is the 'kitchen' where meals were prepared after the rituals. Look at that brave little Japanese boy holding up that stalactite.
Continuing to the right we come to a couple of pots placed below a couple of exposed stalactites, the pots collect rainwater used in telling the fortunes for the highest ranked priestess and the king's son. The pots would also indicate whether they would be having drought (based on how much rain they got throughout the year from typhoons and such).

Then we continue on the road through the giant triangle created when a giant slab of the limestone slid off the top sometime in the distant past, and we find ourselves at the main worship site.

Its a bad picture, but at the bottom you see the altar where they made the offerings and said prayers. The view is a straight shot of Kudaka island, which has been called the Okinawan Garden of Eden, where life on the island is supposed to have originated from. There is a room in Shuri-jo castle which points this way as well for the same reason, and it is in an area that was restricted to allow only priestesses as well.
