~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. ~My impressions after actually going there📝~A hidden spot where you can feel both Okinawan and Japanese style😊 Architecture lovers will also enjoy it😊➖Plan for an outing➖📍Spot name: Miyako Shrine, Harimizu UtakiAddress: 5-1 Nishizato, Hirara, Miyakojima City, Okinawa PrefectureOpening hours: Shrine office 9:00-17:00Cost: Free, Goshuin stamp 500 yenRecommendation: A spot where you can feel both Japanese and Okinawan style⚠Caution: Sunglasses are a must on sunny days ~Miyakojima, Okinawa Prefecture~ Miyakojima is known for its sea, but it is also a shrine that has been treasured by the local people! 💡Point💡 ☑︎Miyako Shrine is a shrine with Okinawan-style architecture that is not found on the Japanese mainland.
