Araha Beach /
Araha Beach is located in Chatan town, Okinawa Prefecture. Rice military Kadena Air Base is also nearby, so it is a beach with many Mr./Ms. military personnel stationed offshore. On the sandy beach, you can enjoy beach volleyball, BBQ, and marine sports, and it is quite crowded on weekends.
Every time I come here, there is an American restaurant with a view of the beach, and I cool off while eating tacos here. ^^

Summer in Okinawa "Eisa" /
Speaking of summer in Okinawa, it is "Acer". On July 7th, I went to the Okinawaya Eisa Festival held on Kokusai Street.
Eisa is a dance to send the spirits of ancestors to the other world on the Kyu-Bon, and it is an event in which people parade around the village while beating large drums and drums and dancing with their hands on the song sanshin. We also pray for the safety of each family and the safety of their families.
The performance of jumping in the second half of the performance was a masterpiece! After this, we will make many jumps. In the heat, this performance is amazing! It is the biggest attraction of the Sakaeguchi Youth Association.
At this time, it started to rain, but the performance was completed safely until the end.

The boy in the lead was dancing on the side of the road last year, but this year he took the lead and pulled me along. It has become reliable. ^^ I hope that this child will grow up and carry on the traditions of Okinawa.
The sound of the Drums heard nearby is powerful and really touches my heart.

At the Eisa Festival, youth associations in each region perform dances, so it's great to see various types of performances! It is actively held in various places from July ~ August.
It was very hot on this day, but when I heard the sound of Eisa's big Drum and tightening Drum, I wanted to sing with Acer Acer♬ and my blood started to rush ^^ I forgot about the heat!

Nursery school and community center coexist "Asato Hachimangu" / Ryukyu Hachisha
It is one of the eight Ryukyu shrines that received special treatment from the Ryukyu royal government, "Asato Hachimangu" Asatomachi Mangu.
On this day, I was doing a great exorcism of Xia Yue, so I went through a circle made of straw. ^^
When prayer, take off your footwear and go up the stairs of the Main Shrine. Shoes are strictly prohibited ^^

Nursery school and community center coexist "Asato Hachimangu" / Ryukyu Hachisha
It is one of the eight Ryukyu shrines that received special treatment from the Ryukyu royal government, "Asato Hachimangu" Asatomachi Mangu.
Restrooms available in the residential area of Asato, Naha City, with a nursery school on the left side of the photo and a community center on the right. Restrooms available in the Precincts, and behind it is a high-rise apartment building and a gap that is amazing w
I think it's a sight you can't see anywhere else. Depending on the time of day, nursery school children are playing in the Precincts^^
"Asato Hachimangu" is the oldest of the eight Ryukyu shrines and was founded in 1466. It was destroyed by fire during the Battle of Okinawa, but was restored in 1993 Heisei 5.
It is also close to Kokusai Street, so please stop by when you are nearby. You can hear the cheerful voices of the children ^^

Wishes come true "Shikinamiya" / Ryukyu Hachisha

One pigeon never leaves the Torii shrine gate! Even if you get closer...
Are you waiting for God? I felt something very auspicious. ^^

Restrooms available has a legend in Shikina Shrine, and there is a cave behind the Main Shrine. A long time ago, a woman named Ōama Shirarei found a cave that emitted a mysterious light at night, and found a binzuru in it, and her wish came true because she deeply believed in it.
In addition, since he cured the illness of the son of the king of Ryukyu at that time, it is said that he founded the Shikina Palace there.
The Main Shrine was built around the 16th century. The pre-war building was built in the style of Sangensha and was roofed with main tiles, but it was burned down in the Battle of Okinawa, rebuilt in 1968 Showa 43, and rebuilt in 2013 Heisei 25 to become the current structure.
I went to Shikinagu for the first time ^^ I also went to see the cave behind the Main Shrine, but it's a pity that the gate is closed, and it seems that the cave door opens on the 1st and 15th of every month and you can go inside. It is also known as the Power Spot.

Two Ryukyu kings sleep in "Urasoe Yodo" / Urasoe Ruins of the Castle
It is "Urasoe Yodo" in Urasoe City, Okinawa Prefecture. Here is the tomb where the two Ryukyu kings are buried on the rock wall of Urasoe Ruins of the Castle. It was devastated in the Battle of Okinawa, but was restored in 2005 Heisei 17.
"Yodo" is a Ryukyu word for "yunagi" and means when the evening waves and breezes calm down.
By the way, Urasoe Castle is a castle that was burned down during the invasion of the Ryukyus by the Satsuma army in 1609.
Next to this Urasoe Yodo in the back of the photo is Hacksaw Ridge. Now it is covered with trees and looks gentle, but at that time it was a place where fierce fighting was fought on the cliffs.
