It is located in the vicinity of Shuri Castle and has long been a site for prayer. People traveling to mainland Japan often prayed here asking for a safe journey. The temple represents a combination of white walls with a red roof, a typical Japanese architecture. Address: Shuri Kannon-dô, Naha, Japan Image Courtesy of Wikimedia and N B) Tamaudun Mausoleum (must see) Located within easy reach of Shuri Castle, the Tamaudun Mausoleum was built at the beginning of the 16th century as the shrine for the royal family. The mausoleum was seriously damaged during WWII, but was restored afterward and today it is designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Tamaudun Mausoleum features two main rooms- one on the left, meant for kings and queens and one on the right, meant for princes and princesses. The central hall was used for the going away ceremonies. The shrine applies an admission fee of 300 yen. There is also a museum in the basement of the mausoleum, where you can see photos of the mausoleum before the war. The doors of the Tamaudun Mausoleum are open from 9 am to 6 pm. Address: Tamaudun Mausoleum, Naha, Japan Image Courtesy of Wikimedia and 663highland C) Shureimon Shureimon is a gate in the Shuri neighborhood of Naha, the capital of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It is the second of Shuri Castle's main gates. It was built in the 16th century. The gate reflects strong Chinese influence, alongside indigenous religious traditions. The four Chinese characters framed on the gate - Shu, rei, no, and kuni, which mean 'Land of Propriety' - were added to the gate long after it was built. The structure of the gate is similar to that of Chinese three-bay turret gates, and is covered with a red tiled hip roof. The 4 pillars stand on foundation stones, and they are supported on front and back by slanting accessory pillars for better Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 3 -

It became the first part of the Shuri Castle to be reconstructed, while decades would follow until the rest of the castle was restored. A picture of the gate appeared on the 2000 yen note issued in 2000 to commemorate the 26th G8 summit held in Okinawa. Address: Shureimon, Naha, Japan Image Courtesy of Wikimedia and 663highland. Sight description based on wikipedia D) Sonohyan-utaki Sonohyan-utaki is a sacred grove of trees and plants of the traditional indigenous Ryukyuan religion. It is located on the grounds ofshuri Castle in Naha, Okinawa, a few paces away from the Shureimon castle gate. The utaki, or more specifically its stone gate is one of a number of sites which together comprise the UNESCO World Heritage Site officially described as Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu, and has been designated an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese national government. While the gates were once opened only for the king, today they are always closed, and so the gates have in a way become a sacred space themselves, representative of the actual sacred space behind them. Many travellers and locals come to pray at the gates. The stone gate was first built in 1519, during the reign of Ryukyuan king Shō Shin, though the space had been recognized as a sacred utaki prior to that. Whenever the king left the castle on a journey, he would first stop at Sonohyan-utaki to pray for safe travels. The site also played an important role in the initiation of the High Priestess of the native religion. The gate is said to be a prime example of traditional Okinawan architecture, and shows many signs of Chinese influence, along with a Japanese-influenced gable in the karahafu style. It was severely damaged in the 1945 battle of Okinawa, but was restored in 1957, and officially designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, along with a number of other sites acrossokinawa Island. The utaki, i.e. the sacred grove itself, was once much larger than it is today, an elementary school and other buildings Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 4 -

Sight description based on wikipedia E) Shuri Castle (must see) Shuri Castle in Shuri, Okinawa. It was the palace of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. In 1945, during the Battle of Okinawa, it was almost completely destroyed. In 1992, it was reconstructed on the original site based on photographs, historical records, and memory. The date of construction is uncertain, but it was clearly in use as a castle during the Sanzan period ( ). It is thought that it was probably built during the Gusuku period, like the other castles of Okinawa. When King Shō Hashi unified the three sections of Okinawa and established the Ryūkyū Kingdom, he used Shuri Castle as a residence. At the same time, Shuri flourished as the capital, and continued to do so during the second Sho dynasty. For 450 years from the beginning of the 15th century, it was the royal court and administrative center of the Ryūkyūan Kingdom. It was the focal point of foreign trade, as well as the political, economical and cultural heart of the Ryūkyūs. According to records, Shuri Castle burned several times and was reconstructed each time. Before the war, it was designated a national treasure. After the war, the University of the Ryūkyūs moved to the castle site, where it remained until In 1958, the Shureimon gate was reconstructed, and, in 1992, the main building of the castle was reconstructed. At present, the entire area around the castle has been established as Shuri Castle Park. In 2000, along with other gusuku and related sites, it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is designated as a cultural property and is located 500 m south of Shuri Castle. Construction on the dam began in 1989 and it was completed in Its main purpose is flood control and on average, it can control an intake of 40 m3/s releasing 23 m3/s. The 19 m tall and 120 m long dam was constructed on fragile rock and is set on a deep concrete staircase foundation. Address: Kinjo Dam, Naha, Japan Image Courtesy of Wikimedia and Ray_go. Sight description based on wikipedia G) Shikina-en Garden (must see) Originally built at the end of the 18th century, the Shikina-en Garden features a fabulous wooden palace with a typical for the region red tile roof and beautiful garden. The premises were originally created as a residence for the Ryukyu kings and are notable for the amazing landscape in Japanese style and unique Okinawan architecture and flora. Shikina-en Garden was destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, but was rebuilt to its original after the war. It is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
