🌊 Shrines on the Waves ⛩️ Japanese Temple Tour

#Temple #100 Ways to Travel Okinawa's Naminoue-gu Shrine, as its name suggests, is a "shrine on the waves". ⛩️ This is because Naminoue Shrine is built on the edge of a cliff next to the beach, and when viewed from a distance or when the waves are large, it looks like a shrine on the waves. 🌊 I came to Naminoue Shrine in Okinawa that day. It was windy outside. I looked out at Naminoue Beach from the shrine platform. The rolling waves matched its name. ⛩️ One needs to cleanse one's hands and calm one's mind when worshipping. The drizzle and few people seem particularly refreshing and calming. I then slowly picked out two amulets, successfully completing my trip to the Japanese shrine. 📍Namigami Palace Address: 1-25-11 Wakasa, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture
