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 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 ^^

Wishes come true "Shikinamiya" / Ryukyu Hachisha
It is one of the eight Ryukyu shrines in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. Restrooms available are shrines that received special treatment from the Ryukyu royal government, and they are called the Ryukyu Eight Shrines.
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.

Shuri Castle main hall under restoration / Visiting the site inside the bare roof
I saw the restoration work of the main hall of Shuri Castle, which was destroyed by fire in October 2019, because it is a special Opening to the public and you can Visiting the site during the period. The craftsmen of the palace carpenter are working hard to rebuild. But it was a pity that I couldn't see the craftsmanship because it was Sunday.
In Okinawa, there are many typhoons, and construction is carried out in temporary buildings called "bare roofs" to prevent rain and wind. The main hall is completely covered, so it's very big ^^
This is the roof part at the top, and at both ends of this 3-meter dragon sits as the guardian deity of the main hall.
By the way, the pillars of the main hall are made of Cypress trees from Nara Prefecture, and the scent of Cypress trees is good. It is expected to be completed in 2026.
