Original Text

I worshiped for the first time in a year early in the morning when I stayed in Naha in June. It is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Otani school. A blue sheet was stretched during construction. A little hibiscus was in bloom in the precincts. Also, Takuboku Ishikawa's monument said, "I don't believe in my new tomorrow, but I don't have a lie in my words."

Temple in town

Original Text

It is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Otani school near Asahibashi Station. It is not a tourist destination because it feels like an ordinary temple in the city. The stone torii gate is magnificent.

It's not tourism, it's religion.

Original Text

It is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Otani school (Higashi Honganji), and the principal image is Amida Nyorai. It was destroyed by air raid and was rebuilt with reinforced concrete in 1975.

Temples in the city

Original Text

I worshiped early in the morning when I stayed in Naha. Shinkyoji is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Otani school located about a 12-minute walk from the monorail "Kenchomae Station". It is a temple in the city. The main hall was reinforced concrete and had a red tile roof like Okinawa. There was also a bell tower in the precincts. You can freely see the precincts. Foreigners were also worshiping. It is a quiet temple in the city.
