Shuriken Gokyo
This is the first one we will introduce here, and it is one of the 10 sacred sites mentioned in Ryukyuan mythology.
It was not enshrined as a power spot as an afterthought, but a spot that has been recognized and loved by the Okinawan and Ryukyuan people from the beginning, so you will feel as if you will receive royal blessings.
A corner of Shuri Castle! The small gate made of stone is majestic
This is a small stone gate located in the park of Shuri Castle.
Shuri Castle itself is considered a mysterious power spot with a solemn atmosphere, and this gate is one of the most unique and prestigious pilgrimage spots.
The inorganic and stately atmosphere of the stone gate has an air of power that draws the viewer in. The surrounding trees are also vigorously overgrown, as if they are receiving power.

Todoroki no Taki
This is the largest waterfall in Okinawa. The waterfall is very powerful as it rushes down in a natural setting that produces plenty of negative ions.
The water pouring down from a height of about 30 meters has an allure that seems to engulf you, and many people come to the temple to experience its unknown power.
Easily accessible and recommended for men and women of all ages.
This spot is a highlight for its power, but even more gratifying is its accessibility.
It is within a 5-minute walking distance from a nearby parking lot, making it extremely convenient. The experience of plunging into the great outdoors may seem intimidating and physically exhausting, but there is no need to worry about this.
Furthermore, even without using a car, it is possible to access the area on foot using the promenade. The path is well maintained and easy to walk on, so it is recommended to visit the area in a relaxed and calm manner.
The roaring sound of the waterfall and the powerful flowing water are so attractive that one seems to enjoy power just by looking at it.

Namamiya
This one has become a powerful shrine that sits on top of a slightly hewn cliff with the beach spread out in front of it.
The location, looking down on the ocean of Okinawa Prefecture, is so majestic that even from a distance it has a mysterious atmosphere, as if it were a two-dimensional creation.
A royal mystical spot to pray to God.
In front of the beautiful sea, this building with its "and "atmosphere is somewhat contradictory in a good sense, and this sense of foreignness paradoxically emphasizes the reason why this Hagamigu should be here, and its presence.
This cliff was a sacred place where people prayed to a sea god called Niraikanai for good catches and peace of mind long ago.
It also has the backbone of a shrine dedicated to the god Izanami-no-Mikoto since ancient times. Such a sacred and mystical atmosphere gives a sense of generosity, as if the sea, the symbol of Okinawa Prefecture, is watching over us.
Specifically, it is reputed to bring blessings for love and other good fortunes, and visitors are very satisfied with the power it provides.
We believe that you will find new insights, discoveries, and things to gain when you visit these profound, authentic power spots, which are not just an afterthought.

Power spots are not well defined and come in many different forms. This is also true for Okinawa Prefecture, but many people feel "powerful "when they come into contact with the majestic vitality of nature.
The bounty of the earth, its lively majesty, and its undressed wilderness have the unlimited power to have continued to spontaneously exist and flourish even in the absence of human intervention.
If you feel the power of such bottomless mystique, this spot is not to be missed.
A majestic natural cave! The power that has been hidden since ancient times pours down on your entire body!
This spot is a natural cave where people originally prayed to the gods of the Ryukyu Islands.
Just thinking about the fact that people were squeezed together in this cave, the epicenter of their prayers, is enough to make one feel the depth of their feelings.
When you actually visit, the air inside is somewhat clear and solemn.
It is possible to feel the spirit and peacefulness of the trees firsthand, and the mystical atmosphere is breathtaking.
Originally, nature worship of stones and trees was the main form of worship in this area of Okinawa Prefecture.
It is a fascinating spot where you can bathe your body in such a hidden aura.

Tomb of Amamichu
This is a fascinating spot with a very long history and venerable legacy, also known as the origin of the so-called "Ryukyu Legend ".
In this remote island-like space, nature from prehistoric times remains intact, giving us a sense of its ruggedness and resilience.
We hope that you will take a moment to reflect on this fantastic spot of sea and nature, the island that is the root of Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands.
Mysterious miracle floating above the waves
This one has the form of an island, but legend has it that the whole area is the tomb of the god who created the Ryukyu Islands.
It is a very grand historical story, and one cannot help but marvel at the depth of the feelings that have been spun.
Caves facing the sea have preserved their natural features, and visitors can bathe in the vibrations of nature with their whole bodies.
The local people have always valued this place as a place to pray for good health and prosperity of their offspring, so their expectations are even higher.
Let your mind be washed away while experiencing the sacred atmosphere.

Bise no Walmi
This is also one of the most popular power spots in Okinawa Prefecture and has been for a long time.
Originally, it was an extremely rare spot that could only be visited when the nearby ocean was at low tide, and because of the difficulty of access, it was believed to have happiness and power that could only be enjoyed by those who visited.
However, the depth of its storytelling has attracted more and more attention day by day, and at one point it was closed due to overcrowding.
Currently, the route is accessible by boat across from the sea, regardless of low or high tide, which reduces crowding and congestion by spreading out the days.
Beautiful sea and huge rocks spreading side by side
We understand that many people may have the impression that going all the way by boat is too expensive, but this place has a lot of charm that makes it worth it.
It is rare and gorgeous to see the white sand and blue beaches typical of Okinawa Prefecture in a remote island-like setting, and a huge natural rock rises beside it.
The seascape glimpsed from between the rocks is very fantastic and different.
It is a fun spot that lets you experience firsthand the grandeur of nature in Okinawa Prefecture.
Today, it can be accessed in conjunction with kayaking tours and other marine sports, and is recommended for those who want to be active and fulfilled.

Pudenma Palace
Last but not least is this spot.
This shrine is located in Futenma, a well-known place in Okinawa Prefecture, where the name of the place is featured in the news.
The place has been recognized as one of the eight representative shrines in the Ryukyus, and its authority and benefits are remarkable.
Like Hagamigu, this shrine has a stately atmosphere and attracts many visitors.
A tropical spot blessed with many fruits!
The red exterior contrasts relatively well with the blue sky of Ryukyu. Many "requests for prosperous business "are prayed for at such a shrine.
As mentioned above, this spot is filled with the power that one cannot help but ask for such wishes and expect them to be fulfilled.
The hard historical background, roots, and backbone all add up to make this a very attractive spot.
It is also a slightly different shrine with a limestone cave attached, and here you can bask in the mystical aura of a natural cave.
The breath of nature and the solemn atmosphere can be felt through the slightly cool air, which is very calming.
It is a spot that offers a balance of both historical culture and the weight of nature, and is very much worth seeing.
Please visit as a power spot.
