[Naha City] A hidden spot that's full of energy💡

Although it is located in the center of Naha, there are few tourists who visit the former Sogenji Stone Gate.

Sogenji Temple, which was built in the Muromachi period, was destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa,
and only the stone gate was restored after the war to its current appearance 🤔
The stone gate is designated as an important cultural property of the country,
and its atmosphere and solidity alone are worth seeing!

And once you pass through the stone gate, there is a huge banyan tree 🌳
I love banyan trees, which have incredible vitality,
so I was overwhelmed as soon as I stepped inside 😳

Even though there is a road with buses passing by in front of me,
when I entered here, the hustle and bustle around me was drowned out,
and I even felt a sacred and special atmosphere ✨

It is less than a 10-minute walk from Miebashi Station or Makishi Station on the Yui Rail.
It's within walking distance from Kokusai Street,
so it's recommended if you have time in Naha city 🙋‍♂️
