Naminoue-gu Shrine
Shrine
This temple located on a cliff edge above the waves has a long history. Naha Port was a base for trade with China, Southeast Asia, Korea and ancient Japan long ago, and it is said that shipping leaving the port would pray for a safe voyage, and shipping entering the port would give thanks for their safety. Various events such as the Shinkosai, Okinawan sumo tournaments, Ryukyu dancing and Enbu Taikai tournaments are held during and around the annual festival on May 17.

- Beautiful shrine
- Love the bright red color of this jingu. The design looks more bias to China style rather than Japan. Took the bus to come here because railway cant access to this place.Visited on June 2019.
