Formerly a Buddhist Temple
Built sometime during the reign of King Sho Shin 1477-1526, only the walls remain.
The buildings and grounds were destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa.
The three arched stone gates are probably what most people photograph.
There isn't much to see, besides a public park, beyond them.
It only took a minute, to get some close-up shots of the stonework.
Soon, I'll be going back down that way, to take more photos of this historical monument.
There's a real gem of a Then and Now, waiting at Sōgen-ji (崇元寺) for me.
As soon as the weather and Naha traffic cooperate, we'll getterdun.
