Naminoue Shrine ~ "Guarding the prosperity and prosperity of Ryukyu for generations on the cliff"
Ryukyu has a total of eight major shrines⛩️, commonly known as the "Ryukyu Eight Shrines", and Naminoue Shrine is the first of the eight shrines. It is known as the "General Guardian of Okinawa". Although it is a "small official shrine", it has protected the lives of many local fishermen for generations, and its status in the hearts of its residents is beyond doubt~
📕Brief History:
Naminoue Shrine was a holy place for people to pray to the paradise in the past. Because it is close to Naha Port and most local residents make a living by fishing🐟, there are always people who come to pray for safe navigation and a good harvest of fisheries~ Even the king of January every year will bring celebrities from all over the world to worship, and its status is highly respected! !
The construction year of Naminoue Shrine is unknown, but it is estimated to have a history of more than 700 years. It was a "government shrine" during the Meiji period, but it was burned down during World War II. What we see now is the renovated appearance. Naminoue Shrine gathers many gods, so you can pray for marriage, pregnancy, safety or longevity! !
