~Okinawa Prefecture~ Miyako Shrine where traces of the Ryukyu Islands remain⛩️
~Miyakojima, Okinawa Prefecture~ Miyakojima is known for its sea, but this shrine has been treasured by the locals!
💡Point💡
☑︎Miyako Shrine is a shrine with Okinawan architecture that is not found on the Japanese mainland. You will be greeted by a shisa instead of a lion dog.
☑︎Just down the hill from Miyako Shrine is an even more prestigious shrine called Harimizu Utaki. It is a historical cultural property of Miyakojima.
☑︎We also recommend the shisa and goshuin stamps with the colors of the sea as motifs! After visiting the shrine, we also recommend a walk at nearby Painagama Beach and Kama Mine Park, where you can see a huge shisa.
