There are hundreds of sacred sites (Utaki) on the island of Okinawa.
The stonework of the walls and steps here resemble that of a castle so, this one is very old.
With no one worshiping, it was a good time to take photos from several angles.
Notice, there are two separate structures.
The building in the back has an unusual ornament on the tiled roof.
Here is a view, looking through the first building at the locked entrance to the second one.
Down the road, to the right, you can see both buildings are up on a hill.
The Ryukyu Islands have a fascinating history and culture.
It could take a non-native 100 years to understand it all.
Be patient. I'm working on it.
